- I have a set of Profile AirWave bars on my bike, and came up with a novel
- solution to the computer problem. I took a 1-inch diameter wood dowel, cut to
- the distance between the narrow part of the aero bars. File out the ends of
- the dowel so that it fits snugly between the parallel part of the aero bars.
- This gives you a mounting place for the computer, about 1 inch in front of the
- handlebar stem. In my case, it fits the (centered) mount of the Vetta C-20
- perfectly.
-
- I hope the description made sense. If not, send me email and I'll make a
- better effort to explain it.
