@chrishuck@hachyderm.io only on fast descents or into a strong headwind. I guess I also would for sprinting, but I never do that 😄

@chrishuck@hachyderm.io Basically only when I want to stretch my back, so effectively never?

@chrishuck@hachyderm.io Worth noting for aero benefits the verdict seems to be you’re better off on the hoods with a flatter back. Personally I mostly use drops on a gravel descent for stability, or just change in position on a long ride.
