fancy trying a set so looking for recommendations.

looks like £40 will get me a set from wiggle but worth spending more?

Depends what you want them for. If it is to get more aero/have different hand positions on a road/mtb, I would recommend ones that turn up at the end, rather than pointing forward. That way your wrists will be at a more natural angle and way more comfortable.

Edit: Like these  https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBSELKP58/selcof-kp58-clip-on-aero-bar---alloy

If onto a MTB definitely ones that let you move the elbow pads backwards - you'll likely need to. That's not possible with the planetx ones.

The advice I got is to go as cheap as you can at first so you can get an idea of what will suit best in terms of position/pads etc. I out a wanted ad on one of the facebook for sale forums and got a set for about a tenner.

If I ever get back into TTing, I now know I'll want more of a curve on the extensions so can shop appropriately.

Basically looking for a J bend clip on for one of my road bikes.

ive not used them before so thinking cheap to get a feel for them and maybe looking for  a more complex set up if I like them.

i have a bet with a friend to beat a 120mile time and the bars will but me a huge lump if I can get on with them.
