The aero bars do take some getting use too. They are great on a down hill run or if your cranking out a good pace in the flats. The will ease the peddling a bit in a good head wind but it is hard to stay down in them for and length of time. They also take a bit of practice like anything, your entire body is more involved in the steering. Tweak your seat adjustment a little, aero bars lay you further out over the the front wheel so you have to find the sweet spot for your seat adjustment. My bike is not designed or set up for speed but more for endurance and comfort but I do want to turn out a decent average speed. My commute offers plenty of hills and flat runs on very nice roads & very low traffic. Most of the time the entire road is mine
