Hi! Recently this year I bough a new Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 7.0 Di2 (awsome bike btw) mainly for road cylcing and ITU triathlons. Now Im about to do an Ironman 70.3 and Im woindering wich is the best way to turn my bike into a TT bike for the aero benefit. Currently my bike has the CANYON H11 handlebar, wich makes it impossible to attach generic aerobars to it, therefore Im thinking my only way is to buy a TT handlebar set…

Any ideas, suggestions?

What I did with my fixie was to fit a shorter (100mm) -35 degree stem with TT base bars and extensions to replace the 145mm 0degree stem and road bars that I normally use. A TT frame will typically have a 40-60mm lower stack and 20-40mm shorter top tube than an equivalent size road bike depending on your height.

the simplest thing would be to swap out the handlebars and get clip-on tribars but you may find that the position is too long and high.

Time to invoke the N+1 rule

Time to invoke the N+1 rule and just shell out for a Canyon Speedmax, I’m afraid…It’s the law.

You would need to replace the H11 with a more rounded handlebar and clip-ons. Or either a base bar and clip-ons or an integrated setup. You’d also need brake levers and the Di2 shifters (£135).

It might be less hassle just to practice riding in the drops or on the hoods (with your arms flat).

With a good position, and frequent training in that position, the extra benefit of aerobars is less than compared to a standard drops or hoods position.

The benefit of di2 is plug
The benefit of di2 is plug and play. Either for a full TT setup handlebars. Fit di2 time trial switches in the ends of the extension bars, 5 way interface. Program functions and away you go.

I have done the same on my cyclocross bike with di2

Another consideration is a standard drop bar then adding on an aero bar extension kit with adjustable pads.
