I need to buy some clip on aero bars but keep seeing references to 'Draft Legal.

What does this mean and how can  I tell if a pair are legal or not?

Edited as the title should be Aero Bars, not some Poet with a chocolate fetish

I think the milk chochlate ones are draft legal aero bars but not the mint ones!!

I think that draft legal means that they can't stick out in front of the normal handle bars.  They also need to be capped in a certain way to prevent them stabbing into someone if you crash

CD IIRC its more for the pro circuit as the cheating b*ggers draft we amateurs are not allowed to so dosent really apply to us as gertie says they have to be plugged though

Thanks for the info. I was looking at some on Ebay but they shot up the  end , so after borrowing some earlier in the year( Thanks RBM) I plumped for some Deda's off Ribble Cycles(thanks again RBM)

Actually my OH bought them so now I just have to wait till xmas.  Thanks OH

Yep, don't worry about it.  Only the elites are allowed to draft so you can use any bars you like.

Glad two others had the same first thought as me.
