Universal Armrest Wedges are designed to wedge the armrests on a non-integrated Time Trial / Triathlon aero bar position up at an angle. The inclined armrest angle produced, provides improved comfort when adopting a high hands or 'mantis' position.
 
Fully compliant with 2023 UCI regulations.
 
Simple, but effective. Durable and reliable.
 
The inclined forearm or 'mantis' position has been repeatedly shown to not only improve aerodynamic performance (lower CdA), but also increase comfort and be more sustainable, so can be faster and well suited for all distances of riding from the 1 kilometer 'kilo' time trial and track pursuits, all the way up to a full Ironman triathlon bike leg.
 
If a high hands position is adopted without also wedging the armrests up at an appropriate angle, an uncomfortable small pressure point at the rear edge of the armrest pads can be created. Using a suitable angle wedge spacer under the armrest cups distributes this weight more evenly over the full length of the armrest pad.
 
These wedges come as pairs in 5 degree, 10 degree or 15 degree* angles.
 
Universal Armrest Wedges use a universal fit pattern, which will work with M4, M5, M6 mounting with front-rear screw orientation.
 
Solid plastic contruction which has been thoroughly tested since 2018 and over-engineered to avoid the issues seen on plastic wedges from other brands. Aluminium or Carbon Fibre is not necessary for this load case. Prototype versions of these wedges have been ridden to top 10 placings in Cycling Time Trials National 10 and 25 mile Time Trial Championships.
 
Come supplied with M5 countersunk screws in lengths to suit the most common Time Trial / Triathlon bike aero extension set-up.
 
Designed to work perfectly in conjunction with the aluminium alloy Ward High Side Ergonomic Armrests.
 
Note: These are not intended for use in spacer stack to incline the angle of aerobar extension poles and are not suitable for this. Wedge the armrest angle only!
 
* 15 degree wedge option is produced slightly under 15 degrees to allow a safety margin for the countersunk screw head to seat correctly in the arm rest body.
