Put the rear wheel in a trainer and begin pedaling on the bike. Have someone spot for you to observe the necessary distance shorter. Sit up straight, no handed, and close your eyes. Now begin to lean forward with a comfortable arm position. Shoulders relaxed, elbows bent. Slowly lower until your hands are going onto the imaginary hoods. How far off are they? That's your difference right there...
