1. how far forward or back on the aero bar is the ideal location to put the tt mount without having a vibration causing effect on the unit?
2. If I'm on the aero bar, I can't help but pull on the bar. This might effect the tilt calculations depending on the location of the unit along the aero bar.
3. if I put a bottle between the bars, I can have it either on the stem or headtube but that would be too far back to be looking all the time.
4. I'm thinking of attaching another ant/computer in front of the bottle to read the data.
Can someone please post some pictures of your set up?
Thanks!

Re: Help with TT set up
Please post a photo of your TT bike handlebar area, so we can see your setup.
The closer your Newton is to the handlebars, the less the potential effect of pulling.
The TT mount lets you place the Newton outside the center area, so that the center can be free for bottle.

Re: Help with TT set up
Just installed RWS on my TT bike and was wondering if it's better to do cal ride on a straight road with stops or on 3/4 mile loop with no stops. Should I do 2 cal ride? "aero/clip on position" and "hoods"?When I get 2 profiles, Can you advice how to convert power numbers from aero position to hoods while riding? My question is regarding during a race where you're switching from aero to handlebar. Thanks! will post picture of bike set up.

Re: Help with TT set up
Here's the update on my recent RWS set up.
Before rolling out, I set up Newton using Isaac. Rode for 5 miles, Did "Cal wind" then do "Cal ride" on a 3/4 mile loop route. Went on a 28 mile ride after. Did an out and back within the 28 mile ride. Got home and plugged Newton to Isaac. Isaac recognized that I did a "Cal ride" and ask to "dial in". I did and saved the profile. Pulled the Cal ride file and did a "check calibration". data show "no significant change" so I accept and send it to unit. I opened the out and back portion within my 28 mile and change the profile to the "cal ride" values. Check calibration and it shows significant change. Is this a bad Cal ride? or am I just using the wrong file.
Here are the files:

Re: Help with TT set up
Here is the 28 mile ride after the Cal ride. I'm also posting another out and back I did today to check calibration. Again, it shows "noticeable change".
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
