RSI?

FyPunK

It has been three weeks of riding with my Spesh BG Ergo grips on the bars and I am starting to get a funny left wrist ( I am right handed before any comments are made). The pain is running on the inside from the base of my thumb, I have also noticed once or twice that at night it starts to lock up. The grips are a more comfy than the standard ones that were fitted and indeed I have had non of the usual numbness. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm right handed too but not, uh, for everything.

Perhaps just lay off it for a couple of weeks.

Hey Jax

i get sore wrists too.. more since i got a roadie with drops. changing the angle of the handle bar helped a lot, but ive just bought some gel gloves to see if they help

Just looking on the tinterweb, looking like some kind of Carpo-Metacarpal damage perhaps, seems a coincidence it has only started since these grips went on, but if it was them why has it not happened on the right? My other thought was maybe Arthritus. I have some new mitts coming soon tho I cant see them making any difference to this and I don't want to get back in the car, for one I have forgotten how to drive.

Ahh, you play tennis left handed. Interesting.
