I run them on my CX...

Gives a nice position when descending in the drops..

The Zipps on my Road Bike are fairly compact too...

Just like the feel..

Give a few sets a go, see what feels best?

I much prefer compact bars and find that I spend much longer in the drops than a traditional bend. They also look better imo.
