This is the lash up I have gone to since I suffered through a tour last fall with intense wrist pain. I have all kinds of control, in traffic and off pavement, on the sweeps. And the aero bars are incredibly comfortable for me for moving down the road without wrist pain and, coincidentally, neck pain. There is a third position on the flats which is just like riding the flats on drop bars. I had thought about this setup for some time and wish I had done it a number of years ago. I tried the Crazy Bars as an intermediate solution but find this much better. A five day tour in May with these bars on a different bike sealed the deal.
