I have been thinking of going with Time trial bars and an aero bar setup on my road bike. I normally just ride longer distances, not alot of commuting. The commuting is done on my mountain bike. Can anyone give me some pros and cons of this setup?

I have one bike setup that way, the main drawback I see is that you do not have much room to mount lights computers etc..

full TT bars with the horns and aerobars setup is usually more expensive than a clipon... also you need to rewire your brakes/shifters...

clip ons are cheaper - but you lose the ability to shift while still in the TT bars...
