So I've put some small aerobars on ...
Those Profile ones where the pads attach to the bars like that fine on smooth roads. But when you hit a bump, the pad gets forced down onto the base bar. When I've used them on audaxes I've often finished the ride with one elbow an inch lower than the other. I think those are aluminium so you can do the pads really tight which might prevent (mine were carbon and I cracked one by overtighening for this reason!)

I no longer have much room for a handlebar bag, though, which isn't so great.
Topeak Fuel Tank (Large)?
(If you find your knees hit tri-bar pads when climbing then you'll probably find you knees hit a top tube bag when climbing. Whilst some people hate this kind of annoyance I find it a useful companion on long rides as it gives me something minor to be annoyed about and staves off something more major to be annoyed about that might actually hurt.)

So I've put some small aerobars on (couldn't find anywhere with flip-up ones in stock, so went for small hoping that'll avoid me kneeing them). Going to try them on an audax this weekend... what with the light going below the bars I no longer have much room for a handlebar bag, though, which isn't so great.
Hmmm...
