Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting into triathlons. I'm very much a newb in this sport. I'm wondering what modifications I need to make to my bike to make it more 'tri friendly'.

I've heard of aero bars, which do you recommend?

Any other features/things needed?

Cheers,
Chris

aero bars

profile design and vision tech make good bars for a decent price. oval is a bit pricier and also nice.
