Hey all- I’m a bit of a newbie and need some help with choosing some aero bars… I have a set of Syntace C2’s I can buy off a friend but I don’t know if they’re too small for me. They’re a small and I’m right on the edge of small/medium according to the guy at the bike shop and the box. I’m 5’6.5" and my forearm-to-top of fist is just shy of 14 inches. Does anyone with similar measurements have any insight as to whether I’d want a small or medium set of bars? I realize that there are a lot of other variables here but I’m pretty clueless so I’d appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

What kind of bike are you riding. If it’s a road bike then definately go with the smaller bars. You’ll be too stretched out on a road geometry bike other wise. If a tri bike, it’s a toss up but the small size might still be better.
The Syntace C2 is an excellent choice. They’ve been around a long time and are still the comfort standard.
I am 5’-6" and have the same 14" knuckles to elbow reach. I am very happy with the small. It’s on a tri bike.
Thanks guys/gals. That was really helpful…
