numb hand question

[kewb]

maybe you dont ride the apollo as far or often as your other bike , you might adopt a different riding style to each bike also ,
decent gel gloves help and a looser grip especially uphills were you should barely touch the bars until you need to stand to pedal .

Exactly. I ride all day without gloves and usually only wear them when it is so hot that the bars get slippy with sweat. I never get numb hands, even after eight hours, thanks to a proper bike fitting session.

I did get pins and needles a while ago, which my physio diagnosed as a muscle imbalance in my forearms. She gave me an exercise gripping a tin of beans between little finger and thumb and raising and lowering my wrist with the forearm resting on the arm of an armchair. That sorted out the problem - YMMV, of course - and I've never had it since.

ive been strengthening my wrist using my own exorcise routine since i was about 14

Flat bars = Klingon bar ends help..... more hand positions to rid you of the Vulcan and Romulan lot above.............
