Aerobars on a Trek 7.5?
I bought a Trek 7.5 in March of 2012. I have put 3500 miles on it so far. I like the bike but after riding for a while I have numbness in my hands especially in my palms and thumbs until I reposition. I know its not the popular thing to do but I purchased a used set of Forte T2 aerobars at a really good price to avoid a big loss if it did not work out. I like the bars and the option of another riding position. First trip, no numbness. I have always felt like I was reaching too far to the handlebars anyway but the aerobars have confirmed that I believe. I feel stretched too far. I feel like a shorter stem with more rise on it would help put me in a more comfortable position with the aerobars and handlebars. Anyone have any experience with this to lend? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
