Clip-on aerobars turn a standard drop bar into a time trial position without committing to a dedicated TT setup, and Ritchey's Comp Mini-Sliver keeps the profile low enough that you're not wrestling with bar bag clearance or cable routing headaches. The extensions themselves measure just 220mm in length—short enough to stay out of the way during normal riding but long enough to provide a meaningful rest position when you're grinding through a long gravel stretch or targeting a segment on an open road. The 31.8mm clamp diameter fits standard oversized road and gravel bars, so you're not hunting for shims or adapters.

The armrest design uses a single-bolt attachment with enough fore-aft adjustment to dial in your elbow position relative to the clamps. Ritchey uses a ski-bend shape on the extensions, which angles the grip surface upward to keep your wrists in a more neutral position than straight extensions would. The whole setup installs with standard hex bolts, no proprietary tools required, and can be removed in minutes if you're switching between events or just want your bar back to normal configuration.

These sit in Ritchey's Comp tier, which means aluminum construction with a focus on durability and adjustability rather than gram-counting. For gravel racing, long-distance brevets, or any situation where you want an aero option without building up a second bike, the Mini-Sliver adds capability without permanent commitment. The clamp stack keeps a relatively low profile, so handlebar bag compatibility depends on your specific bag but isn't automatically ruled out.... Read More
