Pro Vibe Round Replacement
Moderator: robbosmans
Hey all, I'm looking for an upgrade to my Pro Vibe 7s Round bars. I love the drop shape, flat hood transition, and oversized top section. Sadly pro isn't making this shape anymore and I'm eyeing some carbon bars as an upgrade.
Has anyone with experience on the vibe rounds found a similar bar that works well for them?
Possible options are these but none seem perfect.
-Pro Vibe compact or aero compact
-Bontrager XXX bars
-zipp contour
This bar was clearly loved, here's a ten page WW thread just about the bar!https://weightweenies.starbike.com/foru ... =3&t=49750

Yeh, it's not far off but the reach is quite a bit more; the Pro Vibe Round has a very short reach. Have owned all three of the above mentioned bars.raisinberry777 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 10:30 amYep, the Neo Classic is a similar shape, and a Zipp SL-88 wouldn't be far off either.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have a neo classic on my other bike, I generally like the shape though the smaller diameter top section is definitely a drawback. Hood transition is definitely similar to the pro.
I hadn't looked at the Cyrano Snake before (I forget Fizik does more than saddles ). Looks like a really good bar, large diameter top, flat transition and a deep round drop. This could be the one. Numbers from the Fizik site:
Reach: 85 mm
Drop: 140mm
Zipp SL-88 is a nice shape but still alloy:
Reach: 88mm
Drop: 130mm
For Reference the pro vibe is:
Reach: 79
Drop: 130
