this is absolutely true - supporting yourself with your core muscles and
balancing with your arms - even pulling with your arms - puts everything

Albatross bars are slower than drops if same power is applied and you are in
the drops.
The aero dynamics going from brake hoods down to drops is over one mph
advantage by itself.
Of course you could mount your albas low enough and run a stem long enough to
achieve the same aerodynamics then
Note that bending at the hips more also brings into play additional

Exactly, I could ride a funny bike with huge TT bars if I just wanted to go

But I also don't ride for speed. Bob (Indianapolis)
