The issue is that they aren't comfortable for my hands. Perhaps it's all the riding I do on my Mtn. bike, but I just can't get quite comfy on my road bike. On climbs I like to keep my hands on top near the stem - except when I'm out of the saddle, the rest of the time I have them on the hoods. I'm rarely on the drops. The problem is that the hoods aren't big enough for my hands - I really miss my mtn bike's bar ends I guess! I have tried moving the hoods around with little improvement by the way.
The one thing I know would work is putting a mt. bar and shifters/brakes w/bar ends on but frankly I'm too cheap.
Would one of these work without moving my position much?

I don't mind changing the stem to fine tune things but I don't really know what these "tri bars" are like.
I don't have easy access to a good LBS with a variety of bars to compare
Any ideas?
thanks,
Tim
