I've entered the http://www.the36one.com/ and am contemplating aero bars. Anyone have some input. Its mainly long district roads so not much technical stuff to worry about. I've never used aero bars or done such long non stop race but I have seen guys who race The Divide etc using them. Watched a you tube video where aero bars do shave time over drop bars alone on a tri bike.

Hi Folks. Thanks for all your input regarding Raw Revolution Bars. I see quite a few concerns regarding costs: our bars to sell for roughly R32 each at most retail outlets or you can purchase them directly from our online store with no deliver costs anywhere in SA. Please visit http://rawrevolutionsa.co.za/shop/ As Raw Revolution bars are imported from New York, are 100% organic, non-gmo and only the highest quality ingredients are used, we are slightly more expensive than our highly processed, sugar filled competitors.Not only do we shun cheap, highly processed ingredients like soy protein isolate and corn (glucose) syrup, we add premium anti-oxidant-rich sprouted flax seeds to every bar. Feel free to drop me a mail on sean@rawrevolutionsa.co.za if you have any questions. Find out what top athletes are saying about our bars here: http://rawrevolutionsa.co.za/category/testimonials/
