E-bike or 1200 or 1250 same numb hands

[Deleted account 191119001]

Well out today for a jolly on the E-bike with SWMBO and after about 10 KMS riding along a gravely path, my hands where getting number and number, well I thought,le to upright never felt that before, what had I done, then I remembered I had lowered the bars a little to get more weight on the front suspension as I felt I was sitting a little to upright last time out, so swiftly got my little Allen key out and set bars back to position where I was sitting upright again, and low and behold no numbing of hands all was back to normal, so simply reason for this thread is I had the same numbing on my 1200 2017 and put up and back risers on and it cured the numbing, as it is quite simple it all comes from the wrist position, and weight being put on the wrists at a given angle, hope this thread helps some to understand how to overcome the nimbing hand syndrome, no just to finish no vibrations on an E-bike just simply wrist position, so get your wrists in a good position on your bikes and you will feel better, as for any vibrations, that is another story.

or you could be suffering from carpel tunnel syndrome... which is being amplified by the position of the bars...

Nope fine mate, I had that checked a while ago, all good it is simply the position and weight on the wrists for me anyway.

Thanks for that Smog.

I get this quite badly, and on a racing cycle there's the continual drive to get into a better (more aero) bum up, head down position so it's hard to get weight off the wrists.

On my motorcycles, though, I'll do some experimenting as I'd really like to sort it out.

I note the comment about CTS and suspect that may be the real issue.
