    I dunno Snap, if you're hyperextending now when you descend would think that it could be worse with drops (further out).

    Plus traditional road bike set up is more weight on the hands. I know I know, mine's not, and the Riv's are more upright so it can be done.

    Question: what's different about when you descend? Do you feel tense? Can you keep your elbows down and slightly flexed or do they straigten out? Seems on flat bars your position should be about the same so why's it worse then?
