Drops when I really don't expect to brake - taking a pull, TT into the wind etc. I like Belgian Style for most of the rest. Hoods for sucking wheel at the back.

I ride a lot in my drops. Love the feel. Especially pulling in front, riding a pace line at mad pace, descending, or riding on my own into the wind.

I usually take turns in riding in a tucked position while on the hoods or in the drops so that my hands dont go numb (which only seems to happen while riding for long periods in the drops.

I rode while holding onto the drops yesterday into terrible wind while pulling a few okes behind me, dont know if they liked that I started to feel comfy in that position because it really makes one way more streamline :)
