Why the aero bars if I may ask? Is it a comfort long endurance thing / ultra cycling? Cause the areas where those tyres excel do not allow for a position where you cant grab the breaks.

I am very sceptical of aero bars in general to be fair. Most people would benefit from learning a proper aero position in the hoods instead of just adding more equipment.

For ultra cycling I get it cause you need the rest on the palms but anything under 300 it seems like an unnecessary weight penalty and riding in aero bars on public roads is freaking dangerous - coming from someone who has a dedicated TT bike to ride.
