Came back from a ride tonight on my Scott Sub (flat bar) and for the first time suffered from numb hands and feet. Managed to sort the foot thing out to a large extent by dropping the saddle height a bit en route but the numb hands was a problem.
When riding it felt like the handlebar width was too narrow (60 cm end to end) so it may be worth me buying slightly wider ones? Are handlebars on hybrids the same as those used for MTB's? Many MTB replacement bars on Wiggle have a width of 71 cm which would give me more room to move - not sure whether the tube diameters are always the same?
Is it also worth me trying a longer stem to stretch me out a bit and maybe take some weight off my hands, plus maybe some bar ends?
Cheers
