Anyone use PD Jammer GT/Aero Drink Combo?

Hi All! A little late for this season, but I've finally got my road bike set up for a Sprint Tri. I'm using Profile Design's short bars, the Jammer GT. Do any of you know if the Aero Drink (also by Profile) will work with this setup? I'm thinking about ordering one, but nervous that the "shortness" of the shorty bars might not leave enough room for attachment.

Thanks!

I have the aerodrink but not the GT bars. I think it might get a bit crowded up there with all that going on since the bars are shorter. I like to move my arms around a bit on the bars, just to shift position once in awhile. I would go into a bike shop that has the drink system and eyeball it with your bike in the shop before you purchase or order online.

Thanks. Good advice. I don't know that at my level it would make a big difference anyway. I'm a total newb, but I wanted to take advantage of any, well, advantage that I could.

well, if anything, if the drink container works up there, do it. if you are going to be doing shorter races, you will capitalize on being aero more, without reaching down for your drink. Also, to me it feels safer just to drink up front, rather than reach down for my bottle too. good luck to you.

I have a pretty good relationship with the folks at the LBS. They may let me mount one on the bars and ride around the block just to see how it feels. Thanks again.
