Still going through tweaking my road bike (Kona Honky Inc). When riding on the brake hoods it feels like the crook between thumb and hand is taking too much weight and my wrists ache. when on the drops they feel too high or close to my torso. It's almost like the crossbar is too short and I'm hunched over rather than draped over the frame.
I have read around and notice that the handlebars are about 1 or 2 inches above my saddle top and recommendations are to have the saddle 1 - 4 inches above handlebar height. This might solve my problem and improve road feel (I still feel like the front wheel is BIG and I'm balanced on a unicycle with my hands on the pedals!
Lastly, on the hahndlebar stem are what I think are a number of assorted width spacers. I guess I can take a number of those out until the drop is correct - right?
Happy New Year all!
