Asked the team at coefficient for a 36 too ; not on their schedule yet but they work on an adjustable computer mountHexsense wrote:Overall, I like it. Feels good especially when holding the top.
But there are some nuances I wish the next revision would improve.
1) Sprint shifter slot.
Normally, I set sprint shifter at 45 degree angle between pointing sideway inward and pointing to the front. It'd align near my thumb tip. However, the cut out on this bar put flat surface directly to the inside which enforce the sprint shifter alignment to point inward as well. And sprint shifter button now rest near the base of my thumb. I wish the flat side cut out rotate more forward by 45 degree.
2) the up/down slope isn't extreme enough. Setting bar height where I'd be comfortable in drop means the top is still too low to ride narrow stance aero top without my knee hitting my elbow. I could raise bar high enough to create gap between my elbow and knee when using top, but that cause drop to be too tall too. Deeper drop or more top slope could solve it.
3) set-up with correct reach at hood, the center top is still too short reach to hold as pseudo TT bar for extended period of time. Wish the back sweep is more or drop curve have less reach, so that I can use longer stem to push front center joint further away.
4) coming from 36cm bar, 38cm feels a bit wide. But I guess there aren't much demand for 36cm bar. So it's understandable but still wish for 36cm size.

Wild to me they don't sell these in 36 (or even smaller to reach UCI minimum), not to mention the 38 is actually 40cm c-c at the drops which is like 7cm(!!) wider c-c than the UCI minimum lol. I know they have the middle grip area but for me these are some wide azz bars.
That’s exactly what I mentioned with them. Aero bar but can’t provide smaller than 38… get rid of the 42/44 and bring us the 36 and smaller !spartacus wrote:Wild to me they don't sell these in 36 (or even smaller to reach UCI minimum), not to mention the 38 is actually 40cm c-c at the drops which is like 7cm(!!) wider c-c than the UCI minimum lol.

I'll echo the narrower sentiments... If they offered a 36cm version, I'd be up for giving them a try...
i want to try these, but not at $600 usd.
However, it appears there is a bar very similar to their ar available on ali...https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568040 ... 00908290_8

That's sloping upwards like a gravel bar. Take a look at the other pictures.glepore wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:54 pmi want to try these, but not at $600 usd.

Don't think so. They also have the sprint shifter indents.BenCousins wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:10 pmThat's sloping upwards like a gravel bar. Take a look at the other pictures.glepore wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:54 pmi want to try these, but not at $600 usd.

So what are you trying to say? It swopes in the same directions as the Coefficient AR and RR.
This looks a lot like Coefficient's gravel bar.glepore wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:54 pmi want to try these, but not at $600 usd.

I like the look of the RR. Only thing stopping me is the drop of 127mm is 4mm more than I currently have with ErgoNovas at 123mm.
Looking at this picture...
... it seems like you could get the same effect wiht a lot less material in the bars if they made stems longer than standard (so 130mm to 170mm range) and moved the stem/bar clamping area forwards to be inside that big hole on the front.

The hole+integrated computer mount adds very aero and currently UCI legal hand position.

This is a Deda Gera 'copy' - but totally different numbers. There are other bars on Ali which are influenced by the Coefficient bar.glepore wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:20 pmDon't think so.

You guys are aware the Coefficient AR exists and predates everything else except the Eyropro which appeared around the same time, right?
The AliExpress bar is clearly inspired by the Coefficient AR, right down to the thumb indents.

I agree, inspired by the ar-slightly more simple shape on the tops, but clearly a "clone", down to the indents and the very slight flare. Pointless for me as its out of stock in the smallest size.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 5:52 pm

If anyone can point me to an ali bar that looks like the rr, I'm all ears...
