Question, dear monster x people. When riding single track with drops, do you stay on the hoods or in the drops? Any special techniques?
I find the hoods better for handling, but managed to knock them slightly out of place from impact and also got my hands really fatigued quickly. In the drops I struggle to clear tighter turns and feel like my teeth are much more likely to kiss boulders.
