I had zero chance to dial it in before Sundays event. Hopefully I can get the rollers out this week and do some more adjusting. I’m generally pretty comfortable in the extensions, and I don’t actually like the feel of the base bar - so there’s no huge temptation to use them unless I want to pull on them.
I’ve managed to get a late entry for a TT on Sunday, so keen to try and iron things out a little bit before then.
I need to do more miles on the TT bike, but I’m going to see if my road bike wheels fit tonight - more comfortable and less puncture anxiety for training! Buying tubs is already expensive, so I’d rather buy TT ones for £30 each, rather than pay twice that just for some puncture resistance while also suffering worse rolling resistance.
As for moving forward, I’ll make some adjustments and take more photos - what you’re saying definitely sounds about right!

Some of it may be the angle of the photo but you are very far back behind the bb at the moment which is limiting how low you can get on the bike, I’d look at seeing how far forward you can get on your saddle and then put a longer stem on to keep the body length. You could also cut the end of your base bars off where they are to curve back upwards again mostly for style points but also you’ll save 30g or so and reduce the temptation to be in the base bars as they’ll feel less locked in than the aero bars.
Re tyres buy whatever ranks lowest on the rolling resistance website. Unless you want to ride lots then maybe look at Vitoria corsa that are probably a bit tougher!
