Hi BF,
I've been repositioning my hands behind the hoods and the entire fit is better with no discomfort with the web of my hands. The load is more comfortable on my palms, as you helped to point out. I'm also noticing less of a load on my hands, arms and shoulders, since my torso is more upright.
I'm going to change the handlebars later this month to the FSA Compact and bring the hoods back so that the web of my hand is not supporting any of the weight of my torso.
I'll reposition the seat as you suggest, It's a solid suggestion.
Michael
