I use a bottom-of-the-line Bianchi road bike for triathlons and am wondering if it is better to put aero bars on it to cut wind resistance (during races especially) or to leave them off and probably keep from decreasing power by staying in a more proper position.
I often find that if I ride on the bottom bars for extended periods of time I can feel a bit "tight-chested" and don't get quite the oxygen i'm used to. My hips also get pretty stiff after a couple hours.
I imagine there is a balance between wind resistance and efficiency, but is there a rule of thumb?
