Riding on hoods is meh. Need to move brakes further up the bar and down rotate the bars so my hands don’t slip off the drops
That's one of the thing I always end up tweaking on those bar.
Have a look at adjusting the reach of the levers too, bring it closer to the bar make it easier to reach from the drop while still be able to have a good hood position.

I found this article very helpful when setting up flared drops.

Tested the Alpkit flared bars this morning.
First impressions: really enjoyed the drop position descending and on technical downhill. Need a shorter stem and more stack/positive angled stem.

Very strange going from 38cm bars to this
