Anyone Have Aero Bars on Their Road Bike?

Yep, I have them and it helps...should make you a little faster when riding in that position.

It's not ideal because you won't have gearing out on the bars and like you said, the bike was not really intended for that use.  But with the fitting that the tri store will give you, I don't think you'll regret the decision.

I had them on my road bike for a couple of years before I got my tri bike. No problems.

Made the transition from one to the other pretty easy.

Got clip-ons on mine.

Love the aero postion, feels more relaxed.

Also I like my aero-drink bottle there, easier then fiddling with a normal cage.

Further I missed aero bars on my last tri as a place to nice lay-out helment and glasses

When riding on the trainer it is super nice to lay down on the bars and keep your hand free to play video games!

I got mine used in this forum.

I've been thinking about doing this to my CAAD9.  I don't know why but this year I feel as though the drops/hoods and the whole bar itself has gotten farther away from me.  I haven't changed anything with my seat and I'm fairly certain I have not shrunk.

If I added clip ons to my current set up I think I'd be too streched out.  Anyone feel like that before they put clip ons on?

yeah- got a set on my Orbea.  They definitely help a little and are worth the $50-$100 for some cheap speed.  Plus- if you have aerobars, you are then permitted to wear an aero helmet.  Between those two inexpensive items, you're 2/3rds of the way to having a proper TT bike.

that said- you just can't get into the right position on a roadie with aero bars. 

I've left the bars on my roadie, as when my bike's on the trainer, they provide a great spot to hold my laptop while I'm doing trainerRoad workouts. 

x2 for me.

It took a while for my back to adjust to the road bike. I had been on a hybrid for 7 years and thought once I got the roadie I would be riding for miles on end with no problem. Nope. First I had trouble with my hands falling asleep or going numb then I had a lot of discomfort in my lower back.

Just took some time to adjust, time in the saddle and to dial in my fit.

Clip-ons are perhaps most bang for your buck when trying to buy speed on the bike.  From following well-done test, clip-on bars gain you about half of total aero difference between std road bike & full TT (tri) rig (inc bike/wheels/aero helmet).

And the added arm position is more comfortable for distance riding once you get used to it.
