Don't you end up having to angle the levers out to match the angle of your arms? To ride in the drops, I mean. Probably similar on the hoods though. Or am I missing something in my "holding my arms out, imagining drops on a 650 wide bar" puzzling?

Edit: With the pictures added...not sure. Don't you have to bend your wrists awkwardly to make that work?
