I'd like to get some aerobars for my roadbike. I don't mind investing a bit, but have no experience.
Can anyone make a recommendation, or give me some points to consider when making my choice.
I've been looking online at this model.

i find these bars really good, strong, and responsive
I notice you say your gona put these on your road bike?? Does this mean you plan to turn your road bike into an aero bike??
This can be done but i wouldnt recommend it as the geometry will be out..as the top tube tends to be slightly longer on a road bike than a tri bike so you wont get the most out of those expensive bars..... plus you will have to buy some new brake levers and bar end shifters and re-wire everything etc
If you plan to buy some expensive bars for your road bike, i would maybe save some more money and buy a Tri specific bike.
This is just my opinion and someone else will prob have different views....
Good Luck!!
Link for aero bars. (You will need to buy levers and shifters. Prob another £70.

They are also selling on wiggle.
I did this last year and after I found a significant drop of a few mins on my 25km time, and that I spent more time aero than on the hoods I decided to go for a new TT bike (Trek 9.5 TTX v nice) which took a huge (15mins) amount of time off my race.
Only a thought
