However it looks like you then would need extra padding on the arm rests to get your arms comfortably above the handle bar.
As far as I can tell the Race X lite Clip-on have the mounting bracket in one piece making it virtually impossible to fit to the underside of the handle bar.

Like I said... I'm doing a LOT of kms to work, the bars just give another place to rest. It's really good training for maintaining the drops position as well.Mulger bill wrote:You did say your commuter bike?
I did tell the lads at the bike shop that I'd get a TT bike if it came with rackmounts
