Ford Road - easy ride to try new aerobar positioning

Did an easy ride on the TT bike to see if I liked the new aerobar positioning. I'm trying to get the bars closer together... The problem being to accommodate the ergomo computer.

I tried moving the bars out and flipping the pads to the inside. Then to rotate them slightly to get the fronts back together... Almost works, except the pads have to be angled a bit to get them far enough apart and that results in to much pressure on the smaller part of them...

Not quite comfortable enough.

So after that ride I put them back to the previous positioning. But also dug up a small bar we made up last year to allow mounting the iBike. This is mounted across the aerobars and allows for a sold mounting point for the Ergomo, quite a bit forward and allows it to be mounted exactly in the middle of the bars.

This in turn allows the bars to be positioned very close, and allows for the pads to be properly positioned.

I'll try that tomorrow in the Ryder 8K TT.
