I've practiced doing drops and aero hoods on those and I've been able to increase how long I can stay in aero hoods on those. I can really feel the difference between that and regular hoods.

I can stay in that position the whole time on the Cervelo and the Madone, The Ritchey my left tricep starts to get tired which is weird. I still need to figure that out. I prolly need to raise the stem 2mm, but I like how the bike handles and feels currently.
