    I am building my Felt bike. So far I have the frame and wheels. Next purchase is an aerobar and base bar. One issue I have is I have very long forearms. On my current no name model my arms stick out quite a way, which is very uncomfortable and not good for handling. Have limited access to view them in LBS. My LBS has one model only.

    Does anyone suffer the same issue and has a recommendation.

    Profile T2+

    I am 6'4" and use these. The best thing about then is that you can move the whole elbow pad along the extension and can have the pad right under your elbow. Here is a pic of them on my TT pushie....

    I can't say enough good things about them. Ultra adjustable.

    Dan - I've got alloy T2+ as well, but no bar end shifters and on standard drops.
    I've adjusted them as far forward as I can, but wish there was another couple of inches on the end.
    As it is I have to pull my arms in a little bit if I'm going over rougher roads to feel a bit more stable.
    If you're going bar end shifters, that might make the difference though.

    3T clips ons are pretty long, cut an inch off mine, and probably should have been a bit more now that ive tried them out.
