  • 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.

  • 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.
