Numbness - Page 3

I've had things like my butt, hands etc go numb, but the worse was the end of my... cough... ya! I did take great advantage of this and beat it like a step child.

I'm old and beat up.

I'm happy when things go numb, less pain that way.

try gel inserts in your boots. Helps keep my feet from buzzing on the pegs. Gel grips also work. I try to remind my self to keep a light grip on the bars and if on the highway I often us a palm rocker to reduce hand fatigue.

Put the stock bar weights back on. Those bar end sliders increase vibration.

His bike is stock.

How much of his weight is resting on his wrists? That was my problem before I trained my body out of it. Now when I am getting tired or lazy I automatically check my forward weight and adjust it off and it helps tremendously.

Hard to say with him. I notice this with myself but I don't have the same problem as he does.

It does much more than that... I've coached a lot of riders to stop locking their 'bows and using their cores to support themselves... it can add serious miles to your distance capabilities.

For me it's about having my wrists in the same position for long periods... and the vibes don't help. Again, it could be carpal tunnel.
