I was going to use gel for PBP but I couldn't face retaping the bars. In the end I didn't need it but 1200k vs. 6000k... I tend to agree with you. Then again, TransAm I'll be back on aerobars so it's possibly less of an issue than PBP.
I ride aerobars and I still got it.
Try riding aerobars over slabbed Italian roads when tired and you'll fall off.
For the sake of a few gel pads it's worth it.
I ride aerobars here. All the Europeans roads I've ridden leave Britain in the darks ages, save for the goat tracks that Mike sent you over. I'll be fine.
