Setting up TT bars??

[martelpypie]

How do one set up time trial bars?

After recently using TT bars for the first time in about 8 years I can strongly recommend that the first adjustment / set up be to adjust the saddle correctly, starting with moving the tip of the saddle very slightly down (approx 1 - 3 degrees), this is in direct relation to the amount of time you intend to be spending in the TT position.

UCI regulation 1.3.023. For road time trial competitions and for the following track competitions: individual and team pursuit, kilometre and 500m, an extension may be added to the steering system. The distance between the vertical line passing through the bottom bracket axle and the extremity of the handlebar may not exceed 75cm, with the other limits set in article 1.3.022 (B,C,D) remaining unchanged. A support for the elbows or forearms is permitted (see diagram <<Structure (1B)>>).

For road time trial competitions, controls or levers fixed to the handlebar extension may extend beyond the 75cm limit as long as they do not constitute a change of use, particularly that of providing an alternative hand position beyond the 75cm mark.

 

For the track and road competitions covered by the first paragraph, the distance of 75cm may be increased to 80cm to the extent that this is required for morphological reasons; ?morphological reasons? should be taken as meaning anything regarding the size or length of the rider's body parts. A rider who, for this reason, considers that he needs to make use of a distance between 75 and 80 cm must inform the commissaires' panel at the moment that he presents his licence. In such cases the comissaires' panel may carry out the following test: ensuring that the angle between the forearm and upper arm does not exceed 120? when the rider is in a racing position.

Dont need TT bars for that problem to occur...

 

Just a bit uncomfortable if the tip of the saddle is straight (depends what saddle you have) some of the TT, triathlon or mtb specific saddles the tip points down slightly, unlike most road saddles which are // to the ground.
