But if your levers ever need relevelling, you have to remove all levers housing 
and bartape to repeat the levelling process to get an accurate result.



And how would something like that happen?   I can tell you this: I've 
been using drop bars for over 40 years and have never had that happen.  
I've slightly repositioned levers a couple of times, and did it without 
removing the bar wrap, but have never had to remove everything to go 
through any kind of arduous process.


I get it that some folks don't like drop bars.  That's fine; they should 
use what they like.  I know what works for me, and it really doesn't 
bother me if people use something different.  But let's not try to make 
out like drop bars are somehow incredibly difficult to set up and use, 
because they're not.

Drop bars *must* be set up so that the ends of the hooks are
*perfectly* parallel
to *terra firma** or *you will* go to Hell. Or your hands will. Or mine
will. At least the left one.

* Or just the very slightest downward tilt. *Slightest.*

 No heart would or could ever consider this of themselves or another.

Level and center things perfectly?  Whatever do you mean?

Another thing about upright bars is that they are "easy" because they 
are impossible to set up to be comfortable for distance riding and not 
cause hand numbness.  Nothing you do makes any difference, so you don't 
waste a lot of time trying.  That's my experience.
