I have trouble finding a comfortable position at 3 and 9. I wish the crossbar was up or down a bit. I'm not sure if I should hook my thumbs. Any recommendations?

If that's the case, move the seat back a little or the wheel forward and make sure you get that angle right. Is your seat at in it's lowest position as well?

Practice on the street and try taking a few 90 degree right turns from stop signs/lights without taking your hands off the wheel from 3 and 9. It'll show you if you have the seating position dialed in.
