Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best short reach aero bars?

In my ongoing quest to get hammered at every type of racing, I'm trying some individual time trials this summer. Can't afford / rationalize a dedicated TT bike, so I'll be slapping aero bars on my road bike.

I have heard that if you're not changing your set up all that much, you're better off with short reach aero bars.

So, which ones work well? I know about the Profile Jammer bars, but are there others out there? Is this concept wacked?

Check out oval concept's bars - quality stuff. I particularly liked these (I have the single bend, but you can get S bends too):
