Tips for adapting to aero-bars on turbo

andyeb

I've got some clip-on aero bars to go on my bike, in preparation for trying to improve my time on the local 10TT course, when the weather eventually improves.

I see there's a section in The Zinn and Art book on physically setting up aero bars, but I wondered what's the best way to get used to the new riding position while on the turbo?

Any specific tips from someone who has been through this before? Anything to avoid?

Thanks!

Start with short reps - say 1 min on TT bars, 4 mins off. Slowly build up to longer times.
