Since my current bike is the first I've ever owned with drop bars on, I thought I'd seek advice.
I've got to adjust the hoods as they were set too far up the curve of the drops for me and are causing hand numbness/pain when using them. At the same time I've noticed one is slightly turned in whereas the other is dead parallel with the plane of the end of the bars. Should the hoods be aligned parallel like this or turned in slightly or is there no fixed thou-shalt-align-thy-hoods-like-this and it's down to the individual?
