Subject: would like opinions on handle bars
So I don't know much about bikes. So please be patient.
I have a Stevens full carbon road bike. It was fitted when I bought it.
It has the standard bull horn style bars.
I am interested in getting some aero style bars. I find it very uncomfortable to ride in the lower position on the regular bars.
Are add on aero bars good? Is that an efficient riding position? Or do I need to fully swap the bars?
Thanks

Clip on aero bars on a road bike is a great way to go. Just realize that it's not quite as efficient as a tri bike. But it ultimately comes down to comfort.

What should I consider when adding aero bars? What are good brands? Are there pitfalls to be aware of? How can I adjust them to fit me?

I read somewhere about "bar ends" to put on your handle bars, do you recommend them? Is this similar to adding clip on aero bars?

You can spend a small fortune on these pre-wrapped bundles of energy, thinking they offer magic ingredients-not true. “Energy” simply means “provides calories” and not “will make you feel energetic."
