I'm right there with you. 6' tall and long arms like a monkey, so I built up a ring of electrical tape at the end of each aero extension, then wrapped that with a layer of sandpaper, and I hold on with just the pinky and ring finger. Seems to work fine, although a little sketchy on bumpy outdoor surfaces---but that just makes your pinkies stronger, I suppose.
