When I started on Road bikes- I was thinking about putting Time Trial Bars on it. I never used the drop position and found that I was riding on the hoods most of the time. The drop position was only so I could effectively use the brakes downhills. With a bit of training- I started using the drops but have to admit that it is still only on downhills and into headwinds.
The way Yens' bars are set up would give me a position similar to riding on the hoods. The top of the bars position is still there- But after a couple of years of road bikes- I think I would now be missing the drop position.
