Road 'wing' bar with 26mm clamp ?

[John Gibson]

Hi:

Has anyone seen a 'wing' bar without the oversize [31.8mm] clamp ?

In case you are wondering what I'm talking about, 'wing bar' is the name that some are using to describe a series of road 'drop' bars that has a flattened section across the top. This provides more comfort for those of us that like to use the tops for climbing or just for a change of position.

All of the wing bars that I've been able to find use the oversize clamp.

Thanks for your time.

Just buy a new oversize stem - increases your options. To answer your question, I have not seen a 26mm wing bar. I am in the market for a wing bar and am looking at the options. The cheapest out there seems to be the Cinelli Vai, but I am looking at the FSA options.

replace the stem to upgrade to a wing bar

Hi Gavin:

Thanks for confirming. I hoped to reuse the existing stem, but I can see it'll have to go.
