I have a hybrid bike right now. And I think mine are 31.8mm I'm interested in fully upgrading the handlebars to drop-style just yet, but I'd like to add a set of clip on aerobars. Has anyone else done this? Any brand recommendations?

    it might be cheaper to buy a used road bike rather than switching to drop bars.

    Do you have a riser type bar or flat?

    Are you doing hybrid time trials?

    Yeah, I really do not want to take on relocating all the brake levers and gear shifters and such. Especially since this bike is less than a year old.

    I have Steel Low Rise handlebars. http://www.k2bike.com/index.php?page=bike_detail&cat_id=5&b_id=1

    I went to my local bike shop this past weekend and bought a set of Aerobars. With a little bit of work, I got them installed. two rides in and I'm definitely feeling a difference.
