I've been doing some reading and seen reference to the SLAM position for Triathlon and TT. It looks like a less radical way to improve aero on a 73-74 deg bike (instead of the 78 degree tri-position.).
Is anyone using this?
What are the benefits?
I've been riding a 78deg Fuji Aloha for triathlon but I have never felt it as comfortable as my standard road bike.

Also, There seems to be a number of aero bars aimed at this position (Profile Jammer, Syntace XXS). Are they as aero?
