    Item # 796328

    REI Members get back an estimated $ 13.90 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

        Comments about Profile T1+ Aluminum Aero Bars:

        I bought these to use as resting pedestals for my arms while on lengthy rides and OMG has it been what I most needed !!!
        I'm not a Time Trial rider...if you are, you should consider something else. Not speaking negatively towards this product at all, but if you're a TT rider you would buy something lighter and of different construct materials.

        That said, these bars have helped me cut through windy areas and minimized wind resistance. I love how the mounts are adjustable to anyone's physique.

        Lastly and not a negative, I ride a Fuji Newest 2.0 and it's bars are thin so you'll need to be careful and patient as to where you mount them. Their mounts are meant for beefier bars than those on my bike. I only gave them a 4 star because it appears that the bends are just a little off from one bar to the other, not that anyone would tell unless it's grossly off and I think you'd notice it before you bought it. I didn't, which goes to say how little they are "off".

        I love them and I highly recommend them. Want TT grade? Buy something lighter and more suitable to your $2000+ bike (aka "something a whole lot more expensive than these").

        Comments about Profile T1+ Aluminum Aero Bars:

        Although these came highly recommended by my coach, I found them to be very "cheesy". May have been a little better had they been professionally installed. Went out and bought a Tri bike instead (with higher quality aerobars).

        Comments about Profile T1+ Aluminum Aero Bars:

        Planning on my first tri in four months. Bought these to add to my road bike. I installed them quickly and they felt very secure. They appear to be very versatile as far as calibrating to your specific position. I'm sure as I grow into sport they'll still be useful. I'd give them a perfect rating, but I'm still too new to aeros to judge.
