Still tweaking the position for comfort and power, but its getting there. Being a big lad im finding it a lil difficult staying in the TT position for the full 10miles. But its improving. Got another 3 x 10's over the next 6 days

I looked across all the usual sites and had a recommendation for some Token's that wiggle sell, although they are out of stock. Cost is the most important for me.
Next best I have seen is on Ribble, the Deda Parabolica's so think I may go for them.

I have a set of Tokens and they have been fine. Good value for money and easy to put on an adjust.

I've started to take the TT bike out on longer rides - just back from 42 miles today. Not a particularly high average, but I find It helps to develop a better feel for the bike and also to get the leg and buttock muscles used to working in a slightly different way.
Hopefully this will enable me to generate the same amount of power on the TT bike as I can on my road bike whilst gaining the aero advantage of the TT bike; but only time will tell!
Yeh im using this year as a get to know the event. Then hit winter training hard with the TT bike on the turbo and get ready for next year.I've started to take the TT bike out on longer rides - just back from 42 miles today.

I have ridden my TT bike exclusively since March.

Doing the same. Hit the turbo hard from about the end of January onwards this year, although I'm told I won't necessarily reap the benefits until next year or even the year after!
The body takes time to adapt apparently! I'm probably a little like you; after years of life in the slow lane, it's very hard to get things moving quickly again.
Ironically, I've noticed more of a difference when I play Badminton. Gone from a bit of a plodder to something approaching a whippet around court in the space of six months!
