Any cures for arm pump and the numbing of the hands & fingers? My last two races I've experienced some serious numbing of the hands/fingers. Is it my grips, or am I just white-knuckling?
Interesting note on this subject, I had arm pump bad and would get a thumb to go numb on occasion. I switched to the big tag grips with the giant diamonds on them and adjusted my bars a little and it really helped! Just that larger diameter grip to hang on to and a little less vib. I thought I'd take it to the next level with flex bars but for me personally flex bar made my pump come back no matter the setting I used. Could try different grips and the old trick of getting some soft flexible hose that will fit inside your bars and fill it full of silicone caulking which helps cut down on some vibes! Oh and now I'm more aware of having a death grip and trying to loosen up when that happens!
