...please 🙂

just fitted a set of alpkit bombers. I've positioned the hoods fairly high up and it whilst feels fairly comfortable and two finger braking in the drops is ok I'm wondering if I should have positioned them slightly lower?

Thanks

Not the best angle, but this position was comfy for me.

Interested as I cannot get my flared drops comfortable.

I dd ask on here(?) I think and Singular Sam pointed me to a Salsa (again think) article that proposed a lot of options and was very useful but I still ended up going back to a regular drop bar.

This guy, Guitar Ted, has written numerous blogs about drop bars on MTB's, about positioning and different types, one page is here:
