Aero Bars
I'm looking to get some clip on aero bars for my road bike that can be used with the least amount of adjustment to the rest of the bike.
The profile jammers seem to get good reviews, just wondering if there were any others you guys think are better or any major reason to not get them at all.

The Jammers look fine. Years ago, I used similar bars when setting up for TTs in stage races. I didn't move my saddle.
Though drawing from a modest VO2, I did quite well in those, so the clip-ons must have helped.

Jammers will be good because you're able to move the armpads forward and back independent of the base bar. Meaning, since you're on a road bike, you'll be able to move the armpads back far enough that you won't have to really change much to your fit.

But the adjustability is absolutely worth it as I don't have to make any compromises.

Not really sure if I am doing it right, but do you have to remove the elbow pads and pad holders to change the angle of them? I'm not sure, maybe I just have the bolt on upside down because that seems like a big PITA
