Default Re: Wrist pain...

Haven't seen you ride but posture could well have something to do with it.

Avoid leaning on your arms. You don't want too much weight on your wrists.
Also don't you want too tight of a grip on the bars.
You should be able to control the bike with your fingertips and a loose grip.

Proper riding position on the bike is more than just about comfort. It's also a major factor in the handling and control of your bike.
That is defintely something you should work on improving whether it's affecting your wrists or not.

Reguardless of the cause, the answer for nearly all with wrist/hand problems is higher bars.
Invest in a set of higher bars or risers. Could well be the best money you've ever spent.
