Why are the pad cushions not longer? Advantages:
-you would not see the ugly holes.
-your arm is even better supported
-the slit between the extensions and the arms would be filled which is aerodynamically favourable.
I think when I would have the cockpit that I would add some more padding in front of the existing pad cushions.
The "ugly" holes are here for a reason... the extension can slide in/out of the elbow cups part in order to adjust elbow to hand distance. We don't know what the final distance the end user will have so we can't make the pads longer. But I agree it can be done and could be a nice addition. Would you see something like delivering velcro + pads for the user to cut to his/her lenght ?
I must precise that the pictures show extensions quite "out" but if I show you my setup for example I only have 1 hole showing outside and would have only 28mm available to add some padded area, not a huge difference compare to how I'm riding now...
