So I am not looking to do time trials or anything and I dont want to turn my bike into a TT bike. That being said, when I do my 60+ mile bike rides I often find myself wanting a different position to give my hands/arms a rest. Not that they hurt, but shifting body positions every so often helps me stay on the bike longer. I was sitting on one of my friends bikes that he had just purchased from a friend and it came with aero bars on them. When I sat on it I rested my arms in them and it felt like a comfortable change. 1/2 of my rides are hill climbs and the other half are longer distance rides. would the aero bars get in my way of my hill climbs? (I usually stay on the hoods in my climbs and VERY seldom place my hands on the flat part of the bar. Obviously they will add a little bit of weight but I'm not a guy who cares about every little gram.



Is this something I could look into or for what I do in cycling would this be considered a no no?

A very similar question came up four days ago. Should be some good info there.

thank you for the link, I will read through it. I also appreciate you not being a prick about telling me since I have had several occasions from the road cycling side where I was chased out of my own thread.

cheers
