Fits 31.6 and Smaller Handlebars
The Border Bar Clamps + CF Bar Set is everything you need to use your Border Harness on a second bike, so only the harness needs to switch bikes. NOTE: Border Harness is NOT included in this set. You can find the entire Border Handlebar Harness System here.
Clamp and CF Tube Features:
• Roll-wrapped Hi Modulus CF tube. 10” wide X 22mm OD. Wider than generic 8” DYI clamp tubes.
• 10.5mm wide clamps – 35% wider than generic DYI clamps.
• Stainless Steel Screws and oversize SS hinge pin.
• 4” clamp overall length.
• 2” space between harness and handlebars for hand positions, inboard bar ends, aero bar fit space, etc.
• Fits 31.8mm and smaller handlebars. Size reduction spacers are included. 31.8 mm is the most common bar size for Gravel, Adventure, Fat, and MTB bikes currently being used for bikepacking. Uses 3mm SS Screws; extra 3mm screws and lock nuts are included.
NOTE FOR CARBON FIBER BIKE BARS
We recommend using Carbon Fiber Clamp Paste, the same as you would for installing a carbon fiber seat post. Position the clamps as close to the stem as possible, as that area is the strongest on CF handlebars. Any damage or scratches to handlebars is not warranted. We do not recommend use with Ultralight racing, CF road, time trial, and non-circular-shaped bars.
WEIGHT LIMITS
The individual system parts are super strong and can handle VERY heavy loads. Most bike packers use a handlebar harness for a tent, sleep system, or similar gear weighing under 10 lbs / 5kg. The clamps are far stronger than the clamping pressue on any handlebar. The functional weight limit is how much weight your can handle on the front of your bike safely.
If you plan on strapping heavy water loads or large pack rafts to the system, you may use a second set of clamps (4 total) on an aluminum or steel handlebar to double the weight limit at your own steering risk; you may be better off using a lighter handlebar load in conjunction with lower front and/or rear panniers to improve bike handling vs. overloading the harness system on the bike’s front end. Clamps are globally sourced.
