Buddy at a Phoenix bike shop swore by $9 gel grips for my numb hands, and now I owe him lunch
I ride 6 miles to work and my hands would go numb by mile 2, so my buddy Dave at a shop off Camelback Rd told me to ditch my $45 padded gloves and try $9 Ergon-style grips instead. I figured he was just tired of me complaining, but I put them on last Saturday and made the whole ride with zero tingles. My wrist angle feels totally different now and I haven't touched the gloves since. Anybody else have a cheap fix that worked better than the expensive stuff they were using before?
