When combined with the PRO Basebar Alloy, it forms a highly efficient setup ideal for triathlons and time trials. Thanks to its 31.8-millimetre handlebar clamping diameter, it can also be fitted to a wide range of road, gravel, and mountain bike handlebars, enabling ultra-distance cyclists to achieve a more aerodynamic and efficient riding position. The PRO Clip-On Clamp is designed for use with PRO extensions such as the PRO Clip-On S-Bend, J-Bend 45, J-Bend 65, and Carbon Ergo models, and is equally compatible with any extension featuring a 22.2-millimetre clamping diameter. Features: Enables a time trial/aero position when paired with compatible extensions. Ideal for triathlons and time trials when used with the PRO Basebar Alloy. Compatible with 31.8mm diameter handlebars (road, gravel, MTB). Compatible with 22.2mm diameter extensions.
The PRO Clip-On Clamp is designed for cyclists looking to enhance their aerodynamic position for time trials and triathlons, or for ultra-distance riders seeking improved efficiency. Its key benefit is enabling the creation of a time trial-specific cockpit by attaching aerodynamic extensions to standard handlebars. A potential caveat is that it requires compatible handlebars and extensions for full functionality.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the PRO Clip-On Clamp?
The primary purpose is to allow riders to attach aerodynamic extensions to their standard handlebars, creating a time trial or triathlon-specific cockpit for improved aerodynamics and efficiency.
What size handlebars does this clamp fit?
It is designed to fit handlebars with a 31.8mm clamping diameter.
What size aerodynamic extensions are compatible?
The clamp is compatible with extensions that have a 22.2mm clamping diameter, including various PRO extension models.
Do I need a special type of handlebar to use this clamp?
No, as long as your handlebar has a 31.8mm clamping diameter, the clamp can be fitted. It is not limited to specific handlebar models.
Is this clamp suitable for mountain biking?
While it can be fitted to mountain bike handlebars (if they are 31.8mm), its design is primarily for aerodynamic road cycling applications like time trials and triathlons. It may not be ideal for aggressive off-road riding.
What are the benefits for ultra-distance cyclists?
Ultra-distance cyclists can use it to achieve a more aerodynamic and efficient riding position, which can help reduce fatigue and improve overall performance over very long rides.
What is the best way to clean the clamp?
Clean the clamp with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not fit handlebar
Verify your handlebar's clamping diameter is 31.8mm. If it is a different size, this clamp will not be compatible.
Extension does not fit clamp
Ensure your aerodynamic extension has a 22.2mm clamping diameter. This clamp is not compatible with other sizes.
Clamp slips under load
Check that the handlebar surface is clean and dry. Ensure all clamp bolts are tightened to the recommended torque specifications. Overtightening can damage components, while undertightening can lead to slippage.
Corrosion or finish degradation
Clean the clamp after wet or salty conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and use a mild lubricant on bolts if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Enables easy conversion to an aerodynamic time trial setup.
Wide compatibility with various handlebars (31.8mm) and extensions (22.2mm).
Enhances riding efficiency for triathlons and long-distance cycling.
Durable alloy construction ensures longevity.
Versatile for road, gravel, and mountain bikes.
Cons
Requires separate purchase of compatible handlebars and aerodynamic extensions.
May not be suitable for aggressive off-road riding due to its intended aerodynamic focus.
Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and potentially specific tools.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your handlebars have a 31.8mm clamping diameter.
Select compatible aerodynamic extensions with a 22.2mm clamping diameter.
Position the PRO Clip-On Clamps on the desired section of your handlebars, typically the flat top area.
Insert the aerodynamic extensions into the clamps.
Tighten all bolts securely using appropriate tools. It is recommended to follow torque specifications if provided by the manufacturer to avoid damage.
Compatibility:
Handlebar Clamp Diameter: 31.8mm (compatible with most road, gravel, and MTB handlebars)
Extension Clamp Diameter: 22.2mm (compatible with PRO S-Bend, J-Bend 45, J-Bend 65, Carbon Ergo extensions, and others with 22.2mm clamp)
Care:
Clean the clamps regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat.
Periodically check all bolts for tightness, especially after rough rides.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
Inspect for any signs of wear or damage and replace if compromised.
