The stubby ones are Vision Mini TTs or similar: http://www.visiontechusa.com/products/547/Team-Mini-TT-Clip-On-Bars

I pretty much only use them for races and small stretches on training rides. Edited by The Chupacabra 2013-11-14 4:04 PM |

| 116 | Subject: RE: which aerobar for road bike The mini TT's seem to place the pads fairly close to the wrist. This take some getting used to? I've ridden a P2 with profile design in a much more relaxed position however now am riding a litespeed ultimate. Only olympic distance for me due to arthritis in facet joints (back) so comfort is not a huge issue. The Vision TT's look great. |

But for me, they serve the purpose that I bought them for: a little extra during races. Training is almost always in the drops and racing is almost always in aero. |

Veteran 648 St Louis, Missouri | Subject: RE: which aerobar for road bike I am happy with the Profile Design T1 My son in law has the PD Airstrike. He wants to switch them out. Says they rattle when not in aero, the springs tend to break, and they are a pain to get into. Just his 2 cents. |

Veteran 348 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: which aerobar for road bike I have and like the Profile Design T3, which are very similar to T1. I like the curve up at the end compare to the T2. It may be a tiny bit less aero, but I feel I have better control. If you are tall, I'd avoid the shorty bars, and make sure they can be adjusted in length - something like the Profile Design Legacy cannot. |
