Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

See my crappy low light, cell phone pics. Looks like 23 cm at max length bud.

The simple answer is no, but you get accustom to it. Unlike full length aero bars, mini aero bars require some effort to stay on them because you rest the middle of your forearm on the pads instead of the elbows. I can use them without too much discomfort for about 10 minutes at a time before my arms begin to get tired.

It's more comfortable than keeping your arms bent 90 degrees while riding the hoods, but less comfortable than normal aero bars.

With that said, I'm actually thinking of picking up Control Tech's mini TT bars for my time trial bike:
