Syntace C2 vs. VisionTech Carbon Pro clip ons

[woody_1029]

Hi,

I'm looking for opinions on these 2 clip on aero bars; i.e. versatility, comfort, available options, durability etc... They are both priced about the same, weigh about the same (even though the VisonTech is carbon) and come in various sizes.

Also, is the proper way to determine one's size to measure from the middle of your hand to your elbow?

Thanks for your help.

i used to have profile airstryke's but never felt very comfortable (too stretched out because they were on a road frame), but i've just fitted Vision FSA mini TT bars, which apparently are designed to fit road frames for 'technical tri's and draft legal races'.

loong and short of it is that i love them, they let me get in the aero position without feeling like my chest is going to explode because i'm too stretched out. we'll see what difference they make up in lake geneva this weekend

I have the Syntace C2 and think they are great! The C2 supports your arm at the elbow as opposed to the forearm. This is a much more comfortbale setup. They are also very light and comfortable on your hands. I also purchased the link which connects both bars at the end, giving about an extra inch of reach.
