I would think if you're gonna place some extentions there they ought to be as large as your hand so you could really grip securely. Resting the elbows, even with something to grab hold of, the bony forearms on top of the bars is still unstable as to really be effective the forearms would literally need to "be the bar", meaning securely on top of the bars by means of some sort support/security. I have this image of the Movie Breaking Away where the guy tapes his feet to the pedals, but in this case elbows to the bars, so they don't fall off..... hilarious !!!!!
Then again, there's always "just try it for the helluva it" !!!!! That's why we're here and there's no place like Home 😀

> Yeah that’s what I do, Garth (placing my forearms on the forward bend of albas). The problem with this isn’t width for me but that it’s awkward to control the bike with my forearms. Just a little something to grab onto would give me control and subsequently more comfort. So I was thinking aero bars or maybe those ubbins like Bridgestone used on their XOs.
