@ Emyr -what you say may or may not be the case - i've never inferred otherwise, and i have said i've not tested the current set up so it may not reflect the end setup at all, all i've said is i find myself getting forward to get more power.
However your response feels slightly disproportionate to the discussion. i'm sorry you feel you need to write in that way to someone you don't know - all i can say is, I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.
@ OZ yes just less bend on the arm - like 20 degrees instead of 90. the pic of the guy at 90 is not too bad as he's kind of using an aero bar style of leaning on the bars so it's a bit mis leading. if he was holding same position on the drops without his forearms taking the weight, then his shoulders and triceps would be taking more strain
