not fangs, just up a bit. numbness caused me to tweak the position of the hoods a bit (and i liked my position/comfort when in the drops as it was)
it's a hassle to mess with the tape, so take the advice of the other poster who wrote to leave the tape off, take a 10 miler with a 3mm hex wrench and adjust until you like it - then you can tape it up!
I should have done that because I taped the bar with new tape towards the end of last season and it's brand new tape!
But luckily I got some nice Bontrager tape that doesn't adhere to the bar itself, it has a grip line on the back but it doesn't actually stick, so at least I'll be able to unwrap and rewrap it to adjust the hoods. I knew I should have ridden it before setting the tape in place. Live and learn!
