And do you tend to ride on the hoods all the time? Maybe some bars with a shallower drop will encourage you to change hand positions more often.
I totally forgot I had the seat slammed all the way back. Moving it forward will decrease my reach and let my elbow bend a bit more. That might help. From what I've read though, moving the seat forward increases the weight placed on the hands and into the handlebars.

I ride on the hoods most of the time. Flat's occasionally on the hills, and drops on the descents.


It looks like I have a lot of room for adjustment. How many mm of adjustment is suggested for the first round of adjustments? 10mm or more?

Thanks
