Deda Superzero (31.7) Carbon Aero Bars

These are really nice bars until you come to fit them on the bike. The problem with them is you are limited as to how far up the bars you can get your brake/ergo levers before the bar starts to widen and flatten. There are limit markers and even though I've gone just slightly beyond that (the bar is too wide to go further) once the bars are installed on the stem the brake hoods still sit too low. You can counter this by tilting the bars up but in order to get the levers at the right angle to fit my hands nicely on them (Campag ergo) it means that the drops are at too steep an angle to use without feeling like you might slide off. Added to that the flat bit on the top also starts to tilt up thereby defeating the object of having them aero shaped. Compared to my peers I don't generally have my hoods that high up on the bars either so you really need to be aware that you'll have problems getting the levers up to a decent height. Interesting to note that very few pros seem to be using them either going for the standard shaped zeros, newtons or 35s. I've downgraded these already to my winter bike where riding in the drops isn't so critical. If you want a deda carbon bar go for the superleggera or if you need an aero bar then do your research first as these might not suit and certainly don't install levers until you know for sure you'll get the right height.
