After all the faff I got a working setup after transferring the entire drivetrain across from my tark bike. Thanks for all the advice @mdcc_tester
I geared for 22:25 but after a busy week I was 30w down on my normal tt power so only managed 22:45. It definitely felt very heavy coming back into the headwind. Fixed gear pb and good enough for 3rd and my first time in the prize money so happy overall.
Also since I was spannering I took a punt on moving my extensions into more of a mantis position (15°). I've not estimated my cda yet but not sure if I like it, it felt OK most of the time but far less stable in crosswinds; I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit quicker than flat forearms though (I was 20sec slower, but 30w weaker than my course pb).
