Hmm - well, maybe I will try loosening the gloves first - then maybe go in for a fitting. This is my 3rd season riding, and I have finally rehabilitated my back well enough to go down to a 180 degree stem. When I started riding, I had to sit pretty vertical, so I had a big riser on it. I noticed this season that with the riser on, I was only comfortable riding in the drops. Now I can ride on the tops comfortably except for my hands/wrists.

I LOVE that handlebar!!! Gotta have it.
