I've suffered the same thing in my left hand - sort of sharp pains as if the nerves were bing torn to shreds. It started not long after I got the bike (Oct 200

and continued for months. Now, however, the part of the nad in quation is no longer sore but numb all the time - as tough the nerves are "dead"

. Surely too much of a coincidence that its happened more than one person !
Sorry - should read Oct 2008
