I'm not sure. I guess the profile is much the same as the width, but you know I've never thought about it.

@Blue Hills There certainly are bike model-specific parts like that on some top of the range carbon road machines. It's the latest wheeze to ensure a captive market in spare parts supply, and also control the lifespan of the customers bike. The manufacturers will swear blind it's all about compliance/comfort/performance etc, but anyone with half a brain can see that its really about forcing the owner to buy replacement parts from the manufacturer and not from the cheapest competitor. The manufacturer coud also withdraw spares support and render their customers bikes unmaintainable if they decide they are keeping them on the road too long and not buying enough new bikes. I'm not buying into those sort of proprietry scams, I want parts that are readily available for sensible money and also interchangeable from other makes/models of bike.
