cn i check if u hv a clip on bars for time trial and how much does it cost? thx

Clip is usually included when you purchase bar. If you just need a clip, we will need to know what’s the bar you are using first for compatibility issue.

i meant the clip on bars that are like aero bars where u cn put ur body in serodynamic position.. sorry bout that
jialong84 said
Yup, there are 2 type of clips. One is rigid, and one is adjustable. Usually when you purchase aero bars, it will be given. A diff clip is required for a diff brand of aero bar so we will need to know what’s the aero bar you are using first before we can advise you accordingly.
