Product Details
MBN: TILTBLOCK


AeroCoach tilt block adapters are CNC machined devices to increase the angle of BOTH the arm rests and aerobar extensions. They also function as a converter to allow the use of AeroCoach extension clamps on some base bars (for example allowing you to use standard 22.2mm extensions on a Pro Missile Evo handlebar). The tilt block adapters give a 15deg, 20deg or 25deg angle for the arm rests and extensions. Ascalon extensions can be attached to the top of a tilt block adapter, making them compatible with a range of AeroCoach components. For riders competing under UCI regulations, please check that the angle selected will allow you to remain within UCI measurement constraints for your own setup.



Matched 3D printed basebar spacers and CNC threaded bars are included and compatible aerobars are shown on the drop down list (please note that the tilt block adapters are for use with dual mount aerobars, not monopost aerobars). If your aerobar is not listed, please check the criteria below for the use of the universal tilt block option. For any questions, please contact us HERE and we can keep you updated on future compatibility.



INSTALLATION OF AEROBAR-SPECIFIC (NON-UNIVERSAL) TILT BLOCK ADAPTER



1. To install the tilt block adapters, the current extension clamps should be removed and then attached to the tilt block using the button head bolts included (for torque settings, please refer to the extension clamp manufacturer's guidelines). Reach can be adjusted at this stage by moving the extension clamps forwards or backwards along the top edge of the tilt block (as long as the tilt block does not require the installation of a (provided) matched spacer between tilt block and extension clamps).


2. The threaded bar should then be pushed into place from the rear of the tilt block, and the basebar matched spacer placed on the underside of the tilt block.

3. The whole assembly is then positioned on the base bar, and secured (6Nm) to the base bar using bolts included.

More detailed instructions, specific to the base bar being used, are provided with the tilt block adapters.

BIKE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION NOTES

Pro Missile Evo: please note that as per instructions the 1mm thin Pro Missile spacer must be used in between the underside of the extension and the top of the tilt block.

Shiv rim brake TT: the tilt block adapter can be mounted either on the base bar or the bridge. If mounting the tilt block adapter on the bridge, then raising and lowering stack height is done using the original Shiv TT stackers & bolts in between the base bar and the bridge, and so purchasing an extra bolt pack is not required for changes in stack height with the tilt block adapter on the bridge.

Canyon Speedmax: the tilt block adapter is only compatible with dual mount Canyon Speedmax base bars, such as the H26, H33 & H35 (this does not include HB48 & HB49).

Giant Trinity: please note that 10mm of Trinity stackers must be retained below the tilt block adapter, due to the recessed nature of the base bar where the stackers sit. The bolt lengths provided with the tilt block account for this, so for a total use of 30mm of Trinity stackers (in addition to the tilt block adapter), you would need to select the '+20mm' extra bolt pack.

For all bikes, please note that tilt blocks are not compatible with threaded stackers.

WHAT'S INCLUDED (AEROBAR-SPECIFIC NON-UNIVERSAL TILT BLOCK ADAPTERS)

1x pair of tilt block adapters
1x pair of base bar matched spacers (additional 1 x pair of thin spacers for 3T Vola / Revo, Scott Plasma 5 and Shiv TT rim brake)
1x pair of threaded bars
2x pairs of extension clamp bolts (with washers)
2x pairs of base bar assembly bolts (excluding Cannondale Superslice / Felt iA Advanced)


The bolts included allow for the assembly to be mounted with minimum base bar stack. If you require longer bolts for higher stack these can be purchased (in multiples of 4 - enough for a full set of two bolts each side) from the drop down list (excluding Cannondale Superslice / Felt iA Advanced)

Please note that the 25deg tilt block adapter requires a torque wrench with a head length of 30mm to install.

Please note that the base bar matched spacer and tilt block adapter contributes a total of 20mm of stack at the rear of the adapter to the setup.

The ADR/PDQ/Generic option should be chosen for bars such as those in the picture below:

UNIVERSAL TILT BLOCK ADAPTER


The universal tilt block adapter for M5 or M6 base bar bolts fits all dual mount M5 or M6 base bars with through holes (non monopost base bars that have no threads in them, and which have two bolt holes through which bolts are inserted from underneath for attaching extension clamps and/or stackers). The maximum bolt spacing for the universal adapter (fore/aft, measured from centre/centre of the bolts) is 35mm. In addition, for the universal adapter to fit correctly, please ensure that your stacker system and/or base bar has a flat top.


The installation process is similar to the steps outlined above, however the threaded section consists of separate threaded pieces that can be moved into the correct base bar bolt spacing for your aerobars. Universal tilt block adapters are not provided with bolts - full instructions are provided with the adapters to determine the correct bolt lengths to use.
