That must have been you I spoke to at the start, blue Cervelo?
I had a nightmare day. First of all, arrived 15 mins before my start time due to traffic, with my bike still in bits, @onyerbike did a great job putting it together but I still started 39 minutes late.
10 minutes in, my left armrest had slipped so much that I started to get cramp in my shoulder trying to stay on the aero bars, and had to finish the ride on the base bars.
Official time 1:46, actual time 1:07, I'm just glad to have finished because despite the beautiful conditions, I was that close to sacking it off.
I've got the same aero bars as @hippy and had the same problem he described a few pages back - I'm sure the pads are torqued to about 8NM but are still slipping. Might just get some of the all in one things.

If you don't want to change the mounting width of the pads, a very simple bridge should fix it. Not sure whether hippy has gone any further with the idea, if he hasn't you could both save a few quid by getting two made at the same time.

Your issue sounds worse. Mine are at correct torque (maybe a smidge higher) with assembly paste and they don't move suddenly. Rather, I inspect them and find they've rotated a bit, probably after slamming into many potholes on the shitty English roads I ride. I did add zipties between the pad holes to stop them going too far.

Just finished E2/25, had to sit up for the last 15km as my shoulders went (second week running)! Seems like a quick day, was really fast coming back.
112" and I reckon at full bore in the aerobars I'd have spun out loads over the final 10km.
