Wondering about the different kinds of areobars, for instance s-bends and the kind that are straight and turn up ( not sure what they are called). Why are they different configurations and what purpose do they respectively serve.

Otherwise, sometimes changing extensions can help with a fit. But mainly it’s rider preference.

Can of worms. For some people there may be. (and it could go either way) Gonna be hard to know for sure FOR YOU without some serious testing.
