Clip-on TT bars - Aero handlebars ?

Is it possible to attach clip-on TT bars to handlebars that flare out in an aero fashion?

I have the MOST Jaguar XA Aero Compact handlebar and there appears to be 3 quarters of an inch on each side of the stem before it flares. Any idea how wide the clips normally are, or if that would place them too close together if if they did clip on correctly?

Thanks!

Probably should move this to the Triathlon forum....
But...it depends on the clip-ons you have. Various brands and models have different shapes and designs. Sometimes they even come with adaptive spacers that allow you go attache them to non-traditionally shaped handlebars.

Are you able to post pictures yet? If so...show us a pic of the aero bar clamps, and the handlebars.

There are many types that will fit, and some that are somewhat width adjustable, after the clamp is tight on your handlebars. Profile made many different systems with narrow clamps. Dan is probably right, as I have no idea of current models, or even what my old ones were.
Cheers, Eric

I have not yet purchased the tt bars / clamps. I have wrote my LBS but without any replies. They are also all to busy each time I go trying to help people in the parking lot with other stuff so trying to do some research to see what options I have.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I reached out to Profile to see if any of their models would work for me. I appreciate it!

Now that you're over 10 posts, "try" this in the Ironman forum with a picture of your bars.
