Talk to me about drops

[trista]

This is all really great info, thank you. I never considered that the drops would be MORE stable than the hoods at higher speeds. Right now it seems so shaky to me - but remember i've only been on a road bike for about 2 weeks. My previous bike has flat bars. I'm going to keep practicing in short spurts - it takes a little flexibility to do it as well.

You may want to try some bars with shallower drops. It's a shame to have half your handlebars basically unusable.

Mine are pretty shallow, I think? Here is what I have: http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes...e/madone45wsd/

They don't seem deep to me but I am a real novice when it comes to road bikes
