That’s not the point. I can ride in the drops for as long as I want. When I shift to the hoods with forearms parallel the limiter is tri and arm strength to hold that position. Raising the cockpit up to make that easier defeats the purpose since I can ride in the drops forever.
Basically: Arms parallel and low > drops and low > arms parallel and higher.
So I’m not going to adjust the bike fit so I can stay parallel on the hoods longer since I spend far more time in the drops for other reasons anyway, and then trade off isn’t worth it with respect to overall body position.
