Inner bar ends to give me a different hand position option. And get more like shoulder width apart - not like the (very) wide I have been:

Don’t even ask why the RHS goes on the left and vice-versa:

And a quick wipe / check of drivetrain for just 2 days commuting this week: before the whole Family leaves for Vegas and California for a couple of weeks……

Ooh, they're nice. I use Velo Orange Crazy Bars on my Trucker, an all in one version, and really like them

And how was the hand issue using them?

Copied and pasted ftom elsewhere after my ride today. And again - Thankyou very much for asking 🙏



“Thanks on the photos. Lowestoft is a classified deprived area (Town centre and a few select spots). I think not too far out is lovely. I’m in no rush to swap and get out….

Hands are ok thanks ! No worse than when I started 👌 (Still a VERY slight feeling in 2 fingers slowly going since Dynamo). And way better during and after today: compared to any other recent ride. And until you kindly asked - I’d not really thought about it. That in itself is a good sign 😁

I spent 60% (?) of my time on the inner handles. And when on the grips - I of course then noted the extra width: but probably more so noted the vibration. A combination of resonance (?) or similar, thin hard grips and thin, pretty much unpadded Summer type gloves. So I’ll be trying much more padded gloves first ride back from Holidays.

I think with lower tyre pressures, inner hand grips, options of hand positioning, more padded gloves - there’s immediate hope and signs of an improvement to the numbness.

Thank you for asking. Very kind 😉”
