i use one of these little things

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Profile_Tri_Bar_Computer_Mount/5360012977/

fits on the tribars and pokes in to the space between them. you could probably make a low tech one with some tape and a cork!

you can also get mounts that go in the centre

Tri bars are on and felt pretty comfy - raised the saddle a few more mm as I felt too low. Had to move the elbow pads to the wider setting, cos I've got wide shoulders.

Managed to fix the computer to the top of the stem too.

Just freed up the brakes and changed the brake pads, I can descend Harting hill in confidence again now.

Happy days.

Just got my Aero Bar and elbow pads, should these be fitted parallel to the ground or slightly inclined up?

Wow, takes some getting used to those Aero bars and the sensitivity of how the steering becomes with small movements. Found a little un-nerving on downhill long decents, will have another go tomorrow.
