So, sitting around, getting fat and thinking....

Currently my bike has flat mountain bars. I love how the mtn thumb shifters are second nature to me, but, I'm not sure that the biggest cause of my tendonitis (tennis elbow) is these bars. I think I hyperextend my arms while going downhill, add brake feathering and I can reproduce the pain in my elbow perfectly.

So girls, do you think switching to drop bars will be helpful? I keep trying to figure out if the different position would be easier on my arm. This would mean changing out a bunch 'o stuff - levers, shifters, brakes. Heck, it's only money....

Yes, I'm going to talk to my PT about this too.
