it could be as simple as loosing the wrist strap on your gloves, lots of people do them to tight which cuts circulation

And drop your elbows a wee bit... makes a big difference.

![]() You too DaveP, have already noted that, and it does help a little but still get it on long trips. So if you ever see a black 650s with its rider doing power fists in the air or fist clenching you will no its me ![]() Last edited by D Two Nine; 28-06-10 at 06:11 PM. |

stoner suffers from arm pump, maybe he also grips too tight...
all kidding aside, stompgrips are great for getting the weight off your wrists |

I put on some motrax grips which had a lot of flexible rubber on them which did help, as DP said though have you gear around by the wrists as loose as you can as this will make a difference, slight drop of the forearms and all should be ok.
Im talking from experience here btw, i put higher bars on in the end cos sometimes i was getting it after 20 mins riding, but im not you. That made a huge difference. |
