Back to the question of fitting aerobars: WIth most aerobars, the armrests are like Swiss cheese when you peel off the padding (which should be attached with velcro); this gives you dozens of ways to attach them to the brackets, to move your elbows fore/aft/in/out. You should also be able to slide the extensions fore/aft, and also rotate them (unless it's a U-shaped extension). Finally, risers can make a big difference. I put 30-mm risers on my bars. Before I did that, I could hold the aero position for 10 minutes. After, indefinitely.
