numb fingers..(3 posts)

numb fingers..greg1
Sep 28, 2001 7:40 AM
I am experiencing numb fingers when I ride. My right hand pointer and birdie fingers will go numb while riding. Usually starts on the uphill, but if I squeeze my grips tightly I get the feeling back until I loosen them up again. On the downhill they go completely numb. Probably because I have those two fingers on the brakes so I cannot squeeze hard to get the feeling back. This only happens with my right hand not my left.

Has anyone experienced this before? And if so what did you do about it?

Thanks in advance for the help.

It could be the position of your body. Try tilting the seat angle back a bit or lowering your seat. This will take some of the pressure off your hands and allow circulation to return.

Or if you're using a riser bar, try rotating it either toward or away from you. Try just a little bit in either direction and see if it helps before you make any big changes.
