Overall, I like the Woodchippers. I use them differently than the FSA Compact on my road bike. I spend most of my time on the hoods of the brifters with the Woodchipper, where I spend more time on the drops with the FSA Compact on my road bike. Riding on the hoods always feel comfortable, I like having my wrist perfectly straight and the shape of the Woodchipper allows that.
How do you like the STI levers on the Woodchippers? I feel like it'd be awkward on them, and I've mostly seen the Woodchippers and other dirt drops setup with bar-end shifters. I'm currently brainstorming about my Crux's setup for next season, and I'm thinking about Woodchippers, though I'll probably end up sticking with a compact road drop like last season.
