It takes a while and you'll most likely end up moving it around a few more times as it breaks in.
I thought my Team Pro was dialed in perfectly until I decided to move it forward about 10mm just for the heck of it. What was already really comfortable became amazingly comfortable.

Today I thought about riding, but it's in the 50's, and raining(still), so I decided to ride the couch.

chicken and noodles
Today I rode across Indy to the Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. On the way back a nice super cell hit. Needless to say my buddies and I got soaked to the gills, and even got hailed on. I was the only one with a helmet, and will never feel "gay" about using it anymore. Nice ride all in all.
Oh yeah and I had homemade chicken and noodles for dinner. Perfect recovery food.

You mean sell em all and buy a Nissan Leaf because gas is so expensive and traffic is so bad both ways?

Ouch, I have Factor V Leiden and Protein C Deficiency and was on the sidelines for all of march and the first week of April with a DVT in my right leg.
Today I threw the shimano saint cranks on the DJ. Stiffer and actually a tad lighter than the race face's.

Congrats! You're the first person on here with one of those new aluminum pistas. Looks sharp!
EDIT: OMG did your non drive side crank just fall off!?!?!?

Today I spent my evening in the emergency room and am now drugged out of my shoes... painkillers, antihistamines, and antibiotics... woo hoo.
Had an allergic reaction to a bug bite... (can I tell you how much I hate mosquitoes ?)... and my left forearm looked like I had been eating cans of spinach.
Having been here before I did not delay getting my ass into emergency as the Lymphadenitis can cause complications like Sepsis which can lead to complications like... death.
They said I caught it early enough and that I would not have to be plugged into an IV for the next week unless I don't respond to the oral antibiotics and I get to stay home and recuperate and actually feel pretty fine.
