This isn't a characteristic of track drops so much as a characterisic of the size you bought.

You and everyone else saying they're too narrow simply need to size up.

I wouldn't ride in anything but track drops. They offer a nearly infinite variety of positions. I spend a lot of time on the imaginary hoods and a little time on the top but it's nice to have the option to tuck and roll when I want it.

Even if you only spend 1% of your time down in them that's a 1% opportunity you won't get without drops. And I guess the same goes for road drops but I feel like road drops have the positions too well-defined. I like to be able to move a couple of inches up or down without hitting a sharp bend.
