Per Dave Herbal:
Quoted message said:My
grips are fairly worn - could this have any effect?
I get the same thing periodically. Have to take the hand off the bar and shake
it for awhile.
Part of it is a hand position that's wrong for my particular nerves and the same
hand position (good or bad) for too long.
But I also think there's a padding component.
On my FS, I tried wrapping the grips with a layer of handlebar tape. I've also
got bar ends on both bikes and wrapped the bar end and the area where it
connects to the bar with a layber of the stuff too.
On my hardtail, I only wrapped the bar ends - not the interface and not the bar
grips.
Now I notice that I get the numbness a *lot* more (like 10:1) on the hardtail
than on the FS; so I'd conclude that the extra layer of padding helps.
