I cant believe I agonized so much before buying my new HED aerobars. I blame Dan (or maybe undercover Oval or VT reps) for starting that crazy talk about the slick bull horns on this forum. I just got my set (comes w/ grip tape for bullhorns) and as soon as i saw that carbon base bar my HR jumped about 20 beats. Damn that thing looks and feels awesome! Yes the bullhorns are small but I dont plan on going up or down the Alp dhuez with them - Im going to rip up flat and/or rolling TTs with them! Also, small bullhorns just means you have to be more relaxed, precise and controlled when using them. I'm switching over from syntace clip-ons so the difference for me is stunning. Profile and Oval are also nice but HED aerobars is a great product from a great company and this way my frontend matches my wheels. OK, just wanted to set the record straight. If my bar snaps on my next ride I or my next of kin will issue a retraction of this endorsement.
