My Specialized Sequoia Elite has the stock Body Geometry Sequoia Zertz drop bar. I have no problem getting my fingers around the shifters and brakes from the hoods or the drops but I've always found it somewhat uncomfortable riding on the hoods. I'm pretty happy riding in the drops but need to move to the hoods for additional hand positions. I just shortened the stem from 100 to 90 because I felt too stretched out on the hoods; I'm feeling better but I'm still not comfortable. I don't know if I should be looking at further stem changes, a change to the hood position, or a change to a different bar. Thoughts and ideas please!
