> everyday for years (including extensively using drops as a messenger), just not a fan of them - I don't enjoy the hand positions nor braking positions. The only time i've ever enjoyed drops is when I ditched the road lever and set up some cross tops.

Sounds to me like your extension may be too great if you find riding and braking from the hoods uncomfortable. Or perhaps you've only been using non-aero levers which don't have as comfy as position to ride on as modern aero levers?

Solutions:

  • A shorter extension stem, and maybe a more upright one. Something like the Kalloy AL-222 may get your bars in a more comfortable position for cheap.
  • Modern aero levers like these.
  • Non-drop bar: I think the Casey's Crazy Bars are a decent option with 23.8mm compatibility.
