Anyone have aerobars on their commuter? Mine is a flatbar (click marin link for photo) with barends and I was thinking if I got another set of barends to put inside the shifters I could use them as little aerobars. Today to get a bit more aero I was grasping the bars inside the shift pods which actually worked very well but if I could extend a bit more it would be better.
I have aero bars on the bike i use mostly for triathlon (commute on about 30% of time) and like having them. Haven't put any on my fixed gear (usual commuter) yet, because i'm not sure i want quite such an agressive position.
You're idea to use barends farther in is excellent! Wish i had thought of that a long time ago. Probably put some on this weeekend - thanks for sharing the idea.
