Starfish, I think I'll spend more time with this one because, as you said, it offers a more upright position and as jobob mentioned, it probably will reduce the stress on the neck, back, shoulders and knees.

I don't use the cheater breaks either so I'll probably remove them. I'm encouraged to hear another Sequoia rider use the aerobars. I was wondering, can you use them in a century or do you use them predominantly for your solo rides?
