Subject: Clip-on AeroBar recomendation for a tall newbie?
Hello everyone,

This is my first season and I am currently using a Canondale Six Carbon 3 Road bike (60cm) and wanted to add a set of aerobars to it.  My LBS doesn't carry any Aerobars in stock so I am going to have to order a set and then try them out, so I would really prefer to get it right the first time. 

So what would you recomend for a fairly tall newbie as far as aerobars go?

Thanks for your time.

I ride a 62cm roadie and have been enjoying my t2+ aero bars by profile design. They also make a carbon version. I've found the length to be fine (I had a fitting and woudl recommend it).

I know there are some aerobars that let you change the length. Dont find that to be necessary.

Don't forget to look in the classified section of BT. I picked up a pair of profile design carbon air strykes there half price.

I am 6'5" and 220lbs and just slapped on the PD T2+ carbon aero bars.  I would highly recommend them.

I am 6'4" and I have a 61 cm Motobecane road frame with profile carbon air strykes.  Fit great with some extra room for further extension if necessary.
