I finished reading the shorty bar article by Dan Empfield and I guess I am a cross between his M1 and M4 rider: a (M1) triathlete who for various reason should not be using a full aero bar and (M4) century rider who does not face race restrictions (although stares and comments will abound.)
Is there any reason (other than cost and the hassle of replacement) I should continue to use the standard ram's horn (turned down) handlebars? I rarely ever go all the way down and that part of the bar seems wasted to me. Why not use the time trial handle bar without the center aero extensions? Can Shimano shifter/brakes be put on the end of such?
