Is there a current TT convention without necessarily testing? Wider elbows narrowing at the hands? I can move my pads out one space I think, so maybe 2mm? Might be worth trying...
My road bike bars are 38s at the hoods, and I run my hands a bit to the inside there and have no problem turtling and or tucking a bit. Doesn't seem faster than the aero bars, though. Probably a compromise in there somewhere.
