Bad idea, when you brake your have to have all the control of your bike because it moves. and when you go on the aerobars you dont have control. Its worst. When you go on the aero position you have to be sure you are are in a safe aera to go aero (like a road far of the city).
put a brake on the base handlebar for emergency, buy brake hoods for the drops or TT brake levers for bullhorns.

What’s the emergency? Past due for a dental checkup?

I just don’t know how effective it would be with your weight that far forward. On your rear wheel it’ll just slide and on the front you’ll just get tossed over.

I mean, might as well have no brakes than trying to bank on that little guy

rear break only on the aero bars, might as well just go brakeless at that point

Does it not fit on the tops of the drop bars? Why does it have to be on the aerobars?

I ride my bike as a form of workout so I don’t have any issues with this because I ride almost exclusively in a certain area. I have a weak core and have been planking to strengthen it, but if I wasn’t jobless atm, I’d probably look into this because I’d rather keep riding than having to stop to rest/adjust my cake and hands (for now, at least). 😔

Less control in the aero position vs with hands on the drop bars

I’ve tried to use front brakes on tops of a 90s triathlon handlebar and the first crossroad a mf cut me I went over it.
Def a bad idea, just use it on the flat part of the drop or buy the ones that go at the end of it
