Thanks man. Angling them up a little bit definitely helped. I rode 32 miles yesterday and stayed on the hoods the whole time and it felt pretty comfy. I got the Tektro RL520A levers and they feel a bit to narrow for my hands, as well as having the lever to far out to comfortably reach. So I am switching them up with some Origin8 Pro Force compact levers that look like the have a wider hand position and an easier to reach lever.
