Though that does bring up how to properly hold the hoods which when incorrectly done will cause pain in the heel of the palm.
I feel like I lessened the pressure on my hands and wrists by going lower with the bars.
So I ride up on the hoods as that’s where I’d like to be most of the time. My seat is almost all the way back on the rails in an attempt to push my wright back off my hands, but I’m not sure that is the best thing to do. Honestly all I am after if just more comfort and to stop the feeling of when I lift my hands like I am about to fall forward. As a result of that, there is too much pressure on my hands/wrists causing pain.
