Anyone suffer from the above? I've been getting a numb little finger for the past week or 2 and looked it up tonight. It seems to be a common problem for cyclists and weightlifters sometimes called 'handlebar palsy'.
I think it's from riding my road bike as opposed to the MTBs but I can't be sure. Would love to hear from anyone who has cured the problem with position or kit. I don't get any pain, just numbness and a feeling of weekness in the left wrist and hand. Cutting my steak felt like a chore just now.

probably caused by handlebar setup
I broke both my wrists last august and suffered weakness in one hand for about a week or so, so nothing lasting, previously nothing.
firstly, stop riding a road bike.
secondly sort your bars out.
