a question for timetrialists.
I broke my aero bars and need to get some new ones.
Should I get ones with a "flatter" design or stick to ones with more rise?
Is there that much advantage? it seem like its in the difference is pretty minor.
Are the flatter ones much more uncomfortable? The weight is on my forearms anyway.

Well, there are recumbents, but there's a whole other level of discomfort being seen on one of those things

i think you'll get more responses in the racing forum, coz that's where all the hardcore time-trialers hang out
