Thanks all!
Yeah, this is sort of what I was thinking too. I'll take the last (5mm) spacer out but the Zipp Vuka Clip bars have more stack than my old profile bars so I can't really get them any lower without buying new stuff.
As for the extensions, I don't have my hands at the ends because that is the position I got used to doing Ironman stuff where the logic was to have the upper arms vertical which (I think) is supposed to be more comfortable on longer rides. I was planning on bringing the extensions back so the shifters were in my hands but I'll try moving my arms forward to the current position instead. Now I look at my elbows I realise that they are right next to the steerer tube.
Will try tonight but it's a hilly course so probably not the best test.
Yup. Actually, I think we might have met once a long time ago. I don't remember the circumstances but it would have been when I was doing a masters in 2007ish and was entertaining the idea of buying my first bike so I could try one of these "ironman" things. I'm sure you won't remember, but your name is more distinctive than mine :-).
