Pros: 
Adjustibility
Cons: 
Unnatural S bend, pad adhesive

I bought this to retrofit my road bike for tri's. The ability to position the pads behind the base bar make the T2+ a perfect bar for this. But when I went to a Tri bike I went for a ski bend bar that was more comfortable, but I still use the T2+ on my road bike because I know of no other bar that has so many positioning options.

Pros: 
Adjustable, comfortable, easy to get into very aero position
Cons: 
Deformable elbow pads, s-bends with bar end shifters make wrists sore, cheap adhesive

Been using these for the season with good results. However once I put bar end shifters on I started getting sore wrists. Because of the s-bend, the end of the bars point straight ahead putting the shifters at a funny angle. Also, the elbow pads (the pad part not the plastic part) started to deform with the padding getting thinner where my elbow usually sits. The velcrow pieces that hold the pads on also started to fall off although this is probably just cause I rode (read sweated on) them on my trainer alot in the spring.

All that being said these are a good set of bars for the price, adjustable and very easy to get into a fast aggresive position.

For the price a good upgrade from an older set of aerobars

Price Paid: 
$89.00

I have been very pleased with the T2 areobar. I can be both aero and comfortable at the same time. The s bend is great and they look killer on my new ride.

Pros: 
sweet aero look, very adjustable, comfortable
Cons: 
decal quality, have to be cut to fit me(personal preference)

I bought these to upgrade my Felt S32 from the stock Aerolites and couldn't be more pleased.

For one, they look awesome, and complete my ride.

Secondly, they helped my position tremendously by making me more aero(lower) and comfortable.

Price Paid: 
$59.99

Pros: 
Price, Ajustibility, Simplicity, Great improvement of position!
Cons: 
Decals wear off quick, Weight.

First off: DO NOT BUY THESE IT YOU THINK S-BENDS ARE COOL LOOKING! I've seen 2 people now who has regular clip ons really not like these...why? The position one must be in to ride these is really aggressive. These clipons are very low, and are going to bend your back alot! So if you are not flexible or are just getting into tri, I'd really recommend trying them on a trainer before purchase!
If you can get the dialed in right, they are great! They will greatly improve position andn the aero advantage will far outweigh the heaviness factor... get ready to see alot of these out this season!
