When going downhill I'm usually braking from the hoods, not the drops. During the season I do exercises to strengthen my triceps and my hand grip. All of this allows me not to have sore hands. It took me a while to find the right combo of handlebars and hood position where I could ride for a very long time without hand discomfort. One of the biggest 'discoveries' was using a wider bar, which allows for varied hand placements. -------------------- Steel lover, but then I like Ti with carbon too. Licensed bike geek. Post Extras
