Aerobars for a Trek 7700

[Mike Jacobs]

OK, risking the "cycling dork" syndrome I'm getting ready for the MS150 and I'm going to do it from the comfort of my trusty hybird, adding aerobars. I do 45 miles strong without a problem so what's another 60 over 2 days lol?

I like the handlebars as they are just fine... don't want to change a thing. I just want to add aerobars.

Anybody with aerobar experience on a hybrid, and what works well?

Who cares what anyone else thinks? Do what works for you. On a safety note, stay off the aerobars when in traffic (auto or other cyclists) as your hands won't be close to the brakes.

The Profile Design split second bar offer a lot of adjustability and has spring-loaded armrests that move out of the way when you are not using them. The Profile Century is cheap and easy to install/set up. Vision tech and Oval are two other good manufacturers.

Thanks, John, the flip-up armrests aren't really a problem on my "Lincoln" sized bike. I guess the only way to really know if they will fit the bend in the handlebars is to actually visit a store, though.
