I'm curious how this sort of setup works in strong, steady headwinds. You mention being able to rest your elbows on the grips while grasping the flat. Does this work for 10 miles or more at a stretch?
It's odd, but I find that when I sit up straight, I lose power. I am sure others find things different -- I remember with, well, not so much humiliation as humility, how a young guy, sitting bolt upright on a cheap hybrid, caught up with me riding strenuously in the hooks and cheerfully yelled out, "Howzit going?" before passing me. But I can feel extra power even moving from the hoods to the hooks and find that when I hold the ramps or the flats, I tend to bog if there is any resistance from air or hill. Perhaps its a mashing versus spinning thing?
