That makes a lot of sense - I had to move the hoods significantly to get them comfortable like so^
I also tend to have the habit of a fully in the drops position and a in the drops but on the brakes position which confuses matters (I assume that’s normal). I’m going to tape up like this and see.
Elra-
Yeah, I definitely have a position at the rear of the drops that I go to sometimes, and then nestle in to the hook with a finger on the lever blades when in a tight scenario. All should be comfortable. I’d prioritise the drop position with brake access.
I’m so glad there is now a forum for this type of nuanced bar angle discussion. Huge kudos to Hulsroy. Thread of the year IMO, and it’s only May.
snoops
For me, it’s more about the bar angle to provide a comfortable drop position, then the hoods go where they are most comfortable for you. I wouldn’t move them down as it would rotate my wrist away from my body; I’d want my wrist angle to be as neutral as possible in the hoods, which may require moving them up a bit. Up to you (excuse the pun).
