Did you buy direct from manufacturer or at a LBS?

Tom, unless you don't mind the gob of weight the Look Ergostem adds to your front end, I'd hold off on that. Because, as you note, PC adaptation is a PHASE. You will be able to get into your normal aero position, how soon that occurs depends upon...well, how soon you adapt!

For me, I think I'd stay out of the aero position more if I had an easier way to stay out of it. But, that slows my adaptation, because I'm not forcing myself into that position as much. So, maybe it's not beneficial to give yourself that easy out. Something to consider...On the other hand, if getting out of the aero position makes your riding more enjoyable, so you go out and ride more....you'll probably adapt faster than not riding as much but staying aero longer....so, maybe you can forget about everything I said! GO fellow PC'er!

(That which is said in Latin sounds profound)

One of the problems of trying to get back to your "normal" aero position is it may not be your "optimal" position. Time trial or triathlon speed is a trade off of power and aerodynamics.

Having the ability to tweak the position allows you to assess what is optimum for your racing now and next yext year as you further adapt. I like the idea.

Cs7, I bought it from the manufacturer--I believe it is a new product and a new company.
