It's likely that you are a recreational rider looking for different positioning and/or getting out of the wind during your rides if these are of interest. I'm not, but a sale made me think my road bike might like one. Put them on my ride early in the spring and took them off within 6 weeks. Here's why.The flip up pads are nice because not many aerobars let you keep the top of your handlebars. Unfortunately, those brackets that flip up break pretty easily. They sell beefed up replacement brackets to replace your standard ones that will break with enough miles. Earlier this year they were not selling the unit with the beefed up brackets standard. Stupid? Goodbye 25-30 dollars.Second, they make a lot of rattling noise. Lots. Not much to do about this one.Third, the weight of these things is atrocious. Yes, wind resistance increases 4x with every 2x increase in speed. Yes, weight is only 10% of the concern that aerodynamics are when you are considering maintaining speed. Still, aerobars in a similar price range can be found for half the weight and similar or higher quality.Lastly, I think the hand placement is annoying. The lower half has you turn your wrists up which is not a natural motion. The top half is too high to hold on to unless you point the bars down slightly.I may be a little picky coming from the straighter s-bend extensions of a triathlon specific bike. You might like the Airstryke for occasional aero riding. If you plan to spend more time tucked out of the wind, the Syntace C2 and Profile Design Aerolite come to mind when you want something higher quality, fairly adjustable and more comfortable for a similar price range.

I have used this type of aero bar for 9 years and still love them. Like everyone eventually finds out, the lift springs are junk and fail within the first 1K miles. Since the spring feature is the reason I need them, because my knees hit the flat type when I stand, I just use a short, thin bungee cord connected underneath. Get a black one and it will look like it belongs there.The pivot arms will eventually wear out and break, so you should plan on replacing the entire unit about every 3 years, so that it doesn't break while riding. If they didn't wear out, I would rate them 5 stars, but the bars don't cost that much, so it is worth the expense. Hey, if they didn't flip up, they wouldn't wear out.I also recommend putting handlebar tape around the aero bar before riding, as it fattens the bar and gives a cushier grip.

These really help me with my RSI. In addition to the forearm rests, they also give me a number of different positions, in combination with my regular bars. I feel like they are comfortable and sturdy. As a bonus, it's a nice mounting space for my headlight.The bike shop guys hate them because they rattle, especially on road surfaces, but I find it doesn't bother me much. It's just the noise my bike makes.
