|  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. |
