Hello everyone,
I am a newbie at this forum, and it is the same for triathlon. Runner and swimmer for years, I recently added the bike to become a triathlete (yay!).
But here's the catch: I bought a second-hand road bike and, separately, aerobars at Decathlon (https://www.decathlon.ca/...handlebar-extensions).
They fit 26-31.8mm handlebars, my bike has 26mm handlebars.
When I install the aero bar, even if I put the strongest force I have, the aero bar keeps tilting if you try it or put a small pressure at them.
What I see and what I think may be the problem: yes, it fits 26mm handlebars, but just not enough, like there's still a little little gap when I install the aerobars.
Do you have any solution for that?
Like I don't know, perhaps a tape or something like to extend the diameter of my handlebars from 26 to 27/28mm?
Thank you :)
