I've rotated the bars down. Now the hoods seem too far away. I normally have my hands about an inch or two behind the hoods.

Has anyone moved their hoods closer on the bars and how did it work out? Of course, I just had my bars wrapped.

Any other solutions that worked for you would be appreciated.
