Your fit should have you optimised for the hoods (or brake lever grabbing on flat bars), so if you're riding around in the drops all day your bars might be too high, your bike could be too short, your saddle too far forward etc.
Or you're trying desperately to take pressure off your arse for any number of other reasons.

Gotta say, topstone is top. Not sure about the flared bars but wideness does feel good on rocky descents. It's a bit weird trying to get it to feel good at the front because I'm used to long reach and 38 bars. Doesn't feel low enough on the hoods and too wide on the drops, but that's perhaps because on the road it feels like a (quick) road bike.
One thing though, clearance isn't great. It's accumulating leaves and mud at the back even with 37c, but that may be partly due to the mudguard bolt there. More at the front so might stick a 45c in.

Shockingly low tyre width results on this. I think if you redo it in a year there'll be much more demand for tyre width.

expect to see more representation for 'just get an arkose' and 'alright, philDAS' if the survey's rerun too

looks like you've strapped your kid's lunchbox to your bars

Tyres are way too small.
