Hoods+drops will give you the hand positions that you get with 'horns, plus an additional aero position. If you can't climb effectively with drops then you aren't doing it right. Install some hooded levers and learn how to use them.
well, 1, you stated it as a fact, which is annoying, but its the internet, so we'll let that slide
2, if your drops dont help you climb hills, your drops are set up incorrectly.
You see that bolded statement right there? That is stated as if it was a fact. Maybe I should rephrase my sentence and move my dependent clause "in my opinion" to the beginning just to clarify for you guys, I'm so sorry.
Guess what? Drop bars with hoods is not always the best setup, period.

You do realize we are talking about the Redline 925, right?
