You don't have any pics of before/after do you?
No, and if I did it wouldn't help, YMMV. I was just posting an anecdote by way of illustrating how sensitive your aeros might be to hand position alone.
forearms went from flat to steep?
Well, from flat to very slightly sloped. I wouldn't describe what I have now as anywhere near "high hands" by modern standards.

I just meant I couldn't understand what you'd moved. Once I'd seen which extension you were on, it made more sense.
We tested mine from flat to 15deg and it was slower but, like I said, that was 6-7 years ago now and although the bike is the same, most of the kit isn't and my position is a little more aggressive compared to back then when I was setup for 24hr TTs.
It doesn't sound like those Aerocoach things will work so I might try and find another solution. I thought rotating the bars I owned would be the easiest thing to do but perhaps just sticking in some new extensions will be easier, although then I'd have to cater for the Garmin bridge mount I use and Di2 shifters and stuff and the pads wouldn't be at the right angle.
hippy
So, I've just re-read an email from Rob/Float Aero and he mentioned these bad boys:

I've tweeted Aerocoach to see if any of the models will work with my TriRig Alpha Classic base bar. If the generic ones, say, fit, then I could angle the whole lot up with minimal changes and quickly test one way or the other if I like it and it works or not for me.
You don't have any pics of before/after do you? You're saying your hands stayed the same place but your forearms went from flat to steep? Ah, I've googled those 50deg bars and that makes more sense now. I thought you'd put less steep bars on but somehow increase the angle of your arms.
I tested angled bars in the tunnel many years ago and they were worse but lots of other stuff has changed since then so it's entirely possible the angle will help now.
If I could add 5mi to my current 12hr...
