>>1782169>multiple hand positions to choose fromWhen I has a drop bar I only ever used the hoods. Drops were uncomfortable and felt useless, I think it is even proven you can reach the same aero from hoods. Hands on the flats was okay-ish but very twitchy and kinda cramped. I'm convinced that drop bars are still a meme that only lives because of UCI regulations. TT bars make much more sense for races and alt bars for touring.
Pic rel is what I currently find optimal, though the brakes should be positioned so that they are available from the horns.
