Love or hate?

Personally I love them, not because they're aero but because it's nicer to rest my hands on.

Like the look but hate them in use. I never use that part for my hands and light clamps don’t fit to them.

Love.

Boards fit perfectly on them.

Same. Bizarrely I seem to climb better with them.

Are they actually more aero? I always assumed the flat bits on my Eastons were for comfort.

Love - hand comfort and elbow comfort when going 'faux TT'...

My race Face ones have enough round but either side of the stem.

I have just decided to buy wider bars, but being hard up I went super cheap, which means no more flat bit 🙁

Can just about squeeze my Exposure on the round section, enough so that the light body misses my Garmin on the out front mount.
