Tell me about clip-on tri bars...

Read up on "shorty" aero bars. They're really what's best for road bike geometry/set-ups.

I use (and like) thee Profile Design Jammer GTs on my BMC.

Ahhh...OK, that makes sense. I always wondered if there were bars that would work better with road bike geometry. This looks worth checking out. Thanks!

Those ^^^^ are what I used on my last bike too. They are designed for road bikes, and don't require as much tinkering with saddle position. However, I still think it would be a good idea for a fitter to take a look at the set-up once they are on, just to make sure. I rode with them for 2 seasons...I do not have them on my current bike, however. I chose not to put them on, because I wanted to see if I could get along without them. But just recently have thought about putting them back on. I basically used them to give my wrists/hands a much needed break from time to time. My hands go numb on every ride, no matter what (believe me...I've tried it ALL!) and having that extra position would come in handy. I also relied heavily on my aerobars when faced with wicked headwinds. I had tried the "straight" type of bars (like hulagirl's) and found them to really put my wrists into an unnatural position, thus causing pain and fatigue...so they definitely were not right for me. But that may not be the case for everyone...as I know of some folks that love their T2 bars.

Here's another question...where do I attach my computer/gps with aerobars, since they would attach right where I normally have my Garmin?
