I don't ride a lot. Mostly commute to and from work which is 6 miles one way. The tingling usually starts within the first 10 min of my rides though. I could do drops, just like the minimal look and feel of the bullhorns. But if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I play with adjusting my saddle and bars before investing in a drop bar. Thanks guys.
