Road Cycling - Suggestions on Aerobars

I wanted to pick up a pair of aerobars for my roadbike for triathlons. Any suggestions?

I wouldn't want to keep them on all the time, just a bit of training and for tri's.

There seems to be a lot of very different designs out there. Any difference between them? Any problems with using the exsisting handlebars?

BTW, I don't want to break the bank on these either. I am thinking below $90.

thanks!

Looks like you better be looking through Ebay and http://www.trinewbies.com/phorum/forum-view.asp?forumid=4 for a used set.

I really like my Syntace C2 aero bars. Most aero bars will bolt right onto or I should say around your current bars.

The Syntace C2 Ultralites are real nice since they're lightweight, but I've heard that the Profile Airstryke 2000 ($75) is equally as good (a little heavier) because the armrests flip up, allowing you room to hold onto the handlebars at the top, which is useful on extended hill climbs.

I myself am torn between these two, but I might just go with the Airstrykes because they're cheaper than the C2s.

for under $90... hmm try ebay. I dont use them (yet) but prices are moslty hovering 90-110.

The Airstryke's are nice, but the flip up arm rest pads will rattle so much and make so much noise that you will probably zip tie them down to quiet them up (almost every time I've seen Airstrykes on a bike they are like that).

The C2's are a great bar, go to an LBS that sells them and try out the different sizes though as some people like a size smaller on road bikes than what Syntace recommends (otherwise you can get to stretched out).

The small Jammer GT bars from Profile are also highly talked about, especially for the price.

But even more important than which bar you get, read everything you can about fit and being aero with the bars.
