But I think it depends on the kind of bar in question. It seems Cowchippers are usually set up with the drops closer to level, while the Woodchipper is usually very angled.
Yeah, the angled drops allows the hoods to be usable. And with how a lot of the bends on flared drops are designed, it puts the drops at this odd forward position where your palms are facing sort of down and sort of forward when using the drops.
Midge bars were especially big on this as they were basically drop bars to be used in the drops almost exclusively since they are darn near moustache bars due to how much they flare.
on one bars-
But hey- as long as whatever bars used are comfortable in all the positions, thats what is most important. If someone's body geometry allows flared bars to be angled down hard and be comfortable on the ramps, hoods, and drops- then perfect.
