>>1221362> never liked dropsI actually went one further and hack sawed my drops off and got some sweet carbon aero bars out of the parts bin. I have Pads. they just sit too low and are uncomfortable so i got rid of them. Just did 50km yesterday on flats at the Gold Coast and had a great ride with them. Really comfy. My GPS watch said i averaged a few km/h faster. Now i finally get Di2 (extra shift buttons)
Point is dont be afraid to experiment and make your bicycle fit you. I have a shorter torso and drops are uncomfortable on long top tube bikes but feel fine on the newer aero frames. Best thing to happen to drops was flat bars IMHO. Drops were forevor associated with going fast on the road when they simply are not.
