Review on 🚴 Profile Designs Airstryke V2 Aluminum Clip-on Aerobars: Ano Matte Black, Adjustable Stack and Reach for Enhanced Performance by Charles Dean

I bought a pair of these bars less than a decade ago and love them. I decided to put a pair on the new bike because traditional handlebars with fixed armrests don't allow me access to the handlebars. The problem I discovered while riding in the humid heat yesterday is that the armrests don't breathe or absorb sweat like other aero bars. This made them slippery and felt unsafe. I only use them to give my arms a rest and protection from high winds, but I couldn't stay aero for long because I could feel them getting wet and slipping. Eventually after stopping for a while I didn't realize my forearms were sweating and when I tried to put my hand on the armrest it slipped leaving me a bit unsteady. You can use some absorbent or absorbent coatings. My previous model did not have this problem. They can be found on cooler days, less humid days or when wearing long sleeves. I can put tape on the steering wheel where my hands are because they were slippery too. I'm not actually holding the bars, but I put my hands on them to keep them from slipping. I wish they came with some instructions but they are pretty intuitive to set up yourself. The only problem I have is adjusting the distance to the bar once it's attached. I'm small and need to get closer, but even after loosening the screws it didn't budge. Deducted one star for updating the pads which made them slippery when sweating. They would have received an A if this change had not been made or they had come with custom covers. I could deduct a star for the difficulty I had setting the distance, but I know it's possible and hope it's just user error. I had to ask my daughter to help me hold the steering wheel and front wheel. Maybe someone who has a maintenance stand and is used to these structures can do it themselves.
