Aerobars - Free to Good SIR Home

[Mark Thomas]

I think they are Neosonic ErgoAR, but not 100% sure. Risers installed. I have original short bolts for use without risers.

I'm interested to try them out. Have been wondering if aerobars are right for me! And if not, am happy to pass them back to the community 🙂

If you’re going to try them out, my suggestion is to start in a large, empty parking lot.  I found that riding on aerobars shifts my weight forward and changes the handling of my bike just a little bit, but noticeably.  I also found that it rotated my hips a little bit forward.  Tilting the nose of my saddle down, just a notch, took the increased pressure off my favorite perineum.

 

I hate the way they make my bike look, but they give me a position to get the weight off my hands, and therefore relieve the pressure on my carpal tunnel nerves.  Before aerobars, my hands were numb for 4 to 8 months after a 1200 k.  I couldn’t button my shirt and I was looking at surgery for relief.  Aerobars, ugly as they are, have saved me from that.
