I have been riding very rough terrain lately. Rock gardens and baby heads for miles.
Anyway, my hands have been achy, sometimes for a couple days after long rides. They haven't been numb or falling asleep, but my joints hurt. Especially the knuckles where my pinkies and ring fingers attach to my hand (between the metacarpals and proximal phalanges). It feels like what I imagine arthritis feels like.
I've been working hard to not grip my bars too tight, but I having to keep my weight back and the constant jarring makes it important to have a decently tight grip.
I do have big/long hands, but my grips are fairly thick and have decent cushion.
Anybody dealt with this and have a fix?
