I have to agree, but it was quite educational. Let's get back on discussions.

I have been waiting for someone to point out the back posture. You know, straight upper back and a bit bent lower back. (So pelvis stands up) This seem to put a lot of weight off my hands in my short experience and my roadie book confirms this. But that's for roadie bars and not for bullhorns like RB021.

I am thinking the original poster and I (the NOOBs, thank you very much) tend to simply replace the roadie bars with a bullhorn without redo fitting with that bullhorn. This seems to work perfectly for some bullhorns, but I have a lot of problems with RB021 AKA drop bullhorn. And, I am having extremely difficult time finding fitting information such as pictures/videos of people riding properly fitted bullhorns. (Sometimes, I find few, but they are taken from behind which is totally not helpful ... not to mention uninteresting. )

So I tend to ride any bars but bulls. It's a shame really. I have a LBS selling bunch of RB021 at 40cm and 42cm at discount.

You do understand this is still related to how the stem length / height, right?
