I'm thinking about putting on some aero bars and a forward seatpost for my triathlons this summer, but the only forward seatpost I've found is the profile designs product. Does anyone know of any others that I can compare, or better yet a good recommendation?

How about just flipping a standard setback seatpost the other direction?

If I can get the seat to the right angle I might try that, but I'll have to get another seatpost. Mine doesn't set back. Maybe the guys at the shop can suggest something, they just don't have any tri-oriented folks up there. Thanks for the suggestion.

multisport4life: My trigeek buddy has the profile seat post and likes it quite a bit. Also a Thompson setback post can be reversed.

I use a seatpost which is inline, with no layback. They are pretty common on MTBs and available for road sizes. Lots of people make them.
