My 10r had Gilles adjustable clipons when I got it, tried it for a few weeks but couldn't wait to get them off and put the original ones back on. The Gilles weren't any lighter either.

I just couldn't adjust them so they felt 'right'. Every ride out, the bike felt different, and never in a way that was comfortable. So as I had the original ones, I put them on, and when I sat on the bike, they just felt right. Hands, wrists, arms, they all sit in a natural position. Not sure why I couldn't achieve it with the Gilles.

I fitted some Gilles Bars on my bike a couple of months ago, not quite as fancy as the ones on the ebay ad above, spent a bit of time setting them up, angle and switch positions, they worked for me.

hi scottyboy,sometimes if the bike don,t fit fit you you have to make the bike fit,nothing worst than being uncomtable,put the bar,s on and by  god awsome fit,lots of minor adjustments can be made,quality piece of kit.just by sitting on the bike i can tell it,s going to be a better ride for me,but not had time to try on a run.regards mick.
