Standard Mount with TT Bars?

Is it possible to use a standard (stem) mount when using TT ‘ski’s’ or are the powerpod readings likely to get obstructed by bars/hand position etc.
I have ordered a specific TT combo mount but it won’t have arrived in time for a couple of TT’s I am riding in the next 7 days.
Thanks for any advice
Steve

Please post images of your bars and your mount.

I use one of these on the TT bike without any issues.
Mounts on the front of the stem so no interference from hands or position.

It was bought here

It was a test to try it as i couldn't find a suitable mount for the bars.. only downside it doesn't have a stop so i have to make sure the powerpod logo is square to the ground each time, but it has worked just fine.

I'll post a picture of my setup at the weekend. Just to complicate things I will possibly now be using a road bike with clip-ons rather than my TT bike as one of my kids knocked my TT bike over on its side yesterday and it looks like I may need a new rear mech hanger

(it must be made of cheese)
This is the stem mount I have. I will need to fit it on the top bolts of the stem rather than the bottom due to the pointed end of the mount. I think this may mean that the airflow into the wind-port will be disturbed by my hands on the aerobars. I might just set it up anyway and do a test ride at the weekend. I have a rough idea of what wattage I should be producing.

Can't see your hands causing an airflow problem unless they are below the Powerpod.. if so you have a fantastic aero position.
This is my setup with the stem mount.. no interference at all.
