I am looking to buy a set of aero bars for my road bike. I was wanting to use them when I do my first tri. I was not sure if some are better than others. Any suggestions? :confused:

I asked lots of questions on forums like this before I purchased my Profile Design T2+ bars. Since then, I have fallen in love with the aero position. Just make sure you get a proper fit when you put them on. It makes a HUGE diffrence!

Thanks! Do all aero bars fit all size of people. My bike frame is an XS. I didn't know if they were adjustable or if it even mattered?

Take your bike with you and buy bars at your LBS. What works for some people doesnt work for others.
I would buy "shorty" bars designed for road bike geometry. Bars like the Profile Design Jammers. T2s are not very collapsable, and with your small frame, you would likely have to cut the bars to prevent your knees from banging on the arm rests.

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.
