PDQ CARBON TIME TRIAL BARS ... much the same as all the top guys are using ... but probably not quite as expensive.

The original and highly popular PDQPB with or without logos:

Specifications:

 

Stackable tri bar/pads - complete with 10mm

                                         and 20mm risers and pads.

Minimum stack height (with no risers) - approx 5cms.

Stack height can be approx 50mm, 60mm, 70mm or                                      80mm with supplied risers and bolts.

Extra riser kits available to increase stack height even                                                                                 more! 

Standard 22mm extension clamp. 

Standard 31.8mm stem clamping section. 

Length adjustable extensions.

Width/reach adjustable arm rest pads.

UCI Legal 3:1 aspect.

42cm c/c base bar.

Slight drop on base bar.

Internal cable routing.

Di2 compatable.

Low weight - 745 grams with 2 x 10 and 2 x 20 risers.

Clamping area - very slightly splayed - 42 mm wide at the front and  46 mm at the rear. Will NOT fit Oval Concepts 760 (for example).

Superb width adjustability.

        Go narrow like Tony Martin (and me) ...

 

 

I got my first set of these before I realised I was past it and time trialling 'sucked'.  They are VERY nice ... extremely light and mega-adjustable both length and width ways.  You could even have the elbow rests (just about) touching if you're a Tony Martin wanabee.

 

Why try to go lower and possibly lose power, when you can go narrower and still put out the same power?

 

Following the current trend, the extensions (as well as the elbow rests) are raised above the base bar to follow the underside of the forearms which helps to 

eliminate 'dirty' airflow.  

 

Think about it ... the cockpit is one of the first things to hit the air. 'Smooth the lines' out there and you're going to save watts.  Save watts and you'll go faster. No doubt about it.

 

Take a look at Wiggo's tt bikes (see top right) ... Hutch's too ... because these guys have been in the wind tunnel and know what's what. One thing is for sure, they wouldn't be using this type of set up if it wasn't faster. 

 

They are going to be more aerodynamic than 'standard' tt bars ... surely?  

 

Pick up a REAL bargain before they've gone!

IMPORTANT ... PLEASE NOTE

Replacement risers / spacers ... these are replacement sections for use when you have lost or damaged your own bar part. They should not be used to extend the height of the bars beyond what is supplied as standard with the bars at the original time of purchase. Fitting additional risers / spacers over and above those originally supplied with the bars nullifies the bars' warranty.

2 x stepped risers which MUST be used on the current base bar design or you risk pulling out the ferrules.

Hi-tensile bolts to go high!

 

But ... please be aware that you will be nullifying the bar’s warranty by going any higher than with the bolts and risers supplied with the original PDQPB tt bar package (ie 2 x 10 and 2 x 20 mm risers each side).  Going too high will put increasing stress at the points where the risers are positioned on the base bars. This will increase the higher you go and COULD result in failure. 

 

Other suppliers of this type / style of bar only supply spare risers / spacers for use to replace those supplied with the original bars ... something along the lines of “Replacement risers / spacers ... these are replacement sections for use when you have lost or damaged your own bar part. They should not be used to extend the height of the bars beyond what is supplied as standard with the bars at the original time of purchase".

 

I only supply spare risers / spacers on that basis. 

 

If you DO choose to go higher, maybe consider some sort of brace?

 

Having said all that, I have 4 x 20 mm risers fitted to each side of my bars WITHOUT any brace and have not experienced any damage after 24 months or so of use.  However, I don't consider myself to have an aggressive style and am willing to take the risk of something going wrong!

 

So be aware please  🙂

… oh … and of course the small print!

 

I’ve been using my own set since last October for training (I stopped racing a year ago after the white van man incident). This has included hard, all-out interval sessions as well as plenty of hours in the saddle (not as many as in the good old days sadly) without any mishaps or breakages. My supplier offers a 12 month warranty which I will gladly honor to purchasers of PDQ bars.

 

All PDQ carbon fibre handlebars are therefore guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. I will replace any bars that are deemed defective due to workmanship within the specified warranty period or refund within 28 days of purchasing.

 

You don't HAVE to spend up to £110 more for something similar ... but you can if you want to  :-)

And just to prove it's not all 'sales hype' ... take a look to the below to see Brian Hall's superb photos of the top four riders in the 2013 National 25 miles championship. It's no co-incidence that they're all using handlebars with the extensions raised above the base bar (NOT fitted to it). Anything else and you're probably throwing away time to the opposition.  Are you really good enough to be able do that?

By VERY popular demand, together with our handlebar manufacturers, we have designed and produced these 'Pukka' PDQ angled Risers / clamps.  Why buy other makes when these are the REAL deal?  Tilts both the extensions AND the rests up to an angle of 15 degrees.

What you're saying ...

 

'I have been using 40cm PDQ bars for over a year now and I have found them and Ian's knowledgeable advice and general custom service nothing short of excellent. I have arrived at a set up that lets me get the most of the bike and myself and can strongly recommend PDQ bars to anyone considering an upgrade, or using them in a new TT/tri build' ...Russ - Wight Tri.

Bars arrived promptly and I've finally got around to swapping out the Profile Design set on my Scott Plasma. Initial impressions are good- high quality finish and easy to assemble and adjust. I opted for a Profile Design Aeria stem that fits very nicely. I've saved about 200grams in weight, and cleaned up the frontal profile.Whilst not quite as aero as something fully integrated, I'll happily lose a few watts for something that's easy to work on ... JN Beckenham

 

Already own a set of these bars, bought them from you two years ago. Won my age group at Ironman Wales on them used same set up in Ironman Worlds at Kona this year. Fantastic bars! Although they have there limits, couldn’t handle being run over by my van after local 10mile tt on Wednesday night ! ... NM  Tenby

 

Now done 2 TT's on the bars and I wanted to make sure the first time wasn't a fluke.  I have managed to knock just under 2 mins of each course PB.  They're comfy, my power is up and most importantly my position is more aero. Oh and as my friend put  it, "they look pro!"

It's going to be a good season as I can feel there is more to come ... NR Cheltenham

 

Many thanks for your great service, the bars are an amazing bargain and weren't any problem to set up at all. I love the adjustability they offer! … I'll definitely be recommending these bars to my mates, the quality is amazing ... R. W. Eltham   

 

Bars turned up today, and I'm lost for words, which is unusual 
for me. So, so pleased … 110% happy
... C.R. Lutterworth.

 

Just wanted to drop you a line this morning having used the PDQ bars in anger last night for the first time. What a difference, i mean seriously...the comfort level was astounding. I'm due to have my bike Retul'd again in 3 weeks so that will improve it further, but just on my initial setting preferences it really has made a huge difference from the stock setup I had, where my knees were clashing with my elbows. I have have sufficient clearance that this doesnt occur and as I didnt have to focus on this issue it left me to concentrate solely at the task in hand. The result of which was a 35second improvement on a 10mile TT training segment i do. What a gain ... M Hingley, Barrow in Furness

 

A stonking pair of aero bars ... JM Skirling, Borders

Happy to day they have arrived safe and sound this morning. They look the dogs. I've been after some bars of this type for a couple of years but no way was I paying Missile, Brezza, Vuka prices, same far east factories making all this carbon kit, just different stickers.
