I am mucking about with the incline of my drop handlebars to get that sweet spot where it doesn't matter where you place your hands the grip feels right - unsuccessful so far.
If I turn down the bars until the drop part of the bars feels right then when I am on the hoods my wrists are strained - too open on the thumb sides.
If I turn the bars back up until my hands feel right on the hoods then when I drop to the drop part of the drops (if you see what I mean) then my wrists are turned too far upward so I am not able to lean my weight into the drop bar - my wrists are bent upward.
My cheapo Puch Free Spirit 10 was never this touchy and that had drops - do I need different bars then?
