kevinbe - 2012-12-26 6:56 PM Profile design.  I have the t 3's, Love em.  I moved my seat forward about as far as it goes, and it puts me comfortably over the aerobars and am not extended at all.  I also noticed that I sped up .5-1.0mph on my rides.  I got mine on amazon for a reasonable price, and found they took all of 20 min. to install with a hex head allen wrench.

I started with the short bars but found that I have long forearms and when my elbows were over the pads to support my weight then my hands were too far forward to hold the bars comfortably.  The t3s have a great range of adjustments and are much more comfortable for me.

The only problem I've ever run into is while climbing, my leg will occaisonally bump the back end of the bar, but I understand you can hack the ends off, though it's never been that big of an issue to me to have to do this.
