After all, if you're used to a MTB straight bar there are no positions to change to! It also takes effort and time to adjust drop bar positions properly so you can spend lots of time in the drops --- though once you've overcome that learning curve the increase in speed (1-2 mph) is significant --- once I got my brother adjusted to a drop bar he was surprised by how much faster the bike was --- at no increase in discomfort! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
