Subject: RE: Aerobars for my Road Bike? sbr7 - 2009-04-18 9:28 AM Im thinking of putting aerobars on my Specialized Tarmac road bike (bought in 2007). Im wondering, when I am in the aero position will I be uncomfortable becasue my seat is not forward enough? Im looking to spend around $200-$500ish, does anyone have any suggestions? or general tips for what to look for when I buy them? Thanks How long are you planning on spending in the aero position? The entire ride or just part of it? I recently put a pair of the Vision mini-TTs on my road bike and have only gone on a couple of rides with them, but I can hang out for 20 mile ride and be in the position about 90% of the time. I haven't moved my seat at all, and I know based on posts here I should, but I still want to have the drops and hood be comfortable for me...since it is a road bike afterall. I'm just looking to cut through some wind where I can for the most part. Some clip-ons are better for road bikes then others. I actually like the look of the profile design jammers for a roadie, but my purchase was spontaneous at a shop the day before a ride I wanted them for so just took what I could....They are a little on the short end for my liking, but they get the job done. If I start going for 40 and 50 mile rides, I'll definitely want to make adjustments. |
