No, not those delicious aero bars with the bubbly chocolate, but the ones I've bolted onto my road bike for a series of TTs.
Completed the first last week with a PB but wasn't comfortable at all. Felt far too stretched out (as you'd expect with clip ons on a road bike), so I've brought the pads back towards me so that my elbow angle is not so large, and I can grip the bars much closer to the base.
Positionally I'm feeling much more stable, compact and possibly more powerful, but the TT bars are slightly nose down just because they are. Is there a particular optimum angle that they should be at? I.e. parallel to the road, parallel to the stem or to top tube or the angle of my bars, or is it just whatever feels comfortable?
Advice gratefully received.
