i suffer from very sore wrists, to the point of having to take ibuprofen every day when i get home.
i rode dropped bars today and yeterday, and this has inflamed the pain greatley.
i wear a wrist guard in bed to keep my wrist straight to stop me from bending it and putting it under my chest when sleeping.
if i ride in the same hand position i cannot straighten my wrists without extreme pain.
help, what can i do.
*Must resist* 😀
Ergon grips?
Carbon bars?
occupational...?
arthritis...?
any advice would surely depend on causative factors
tried ergon grips, they help a bit, but right hand goes dead.
phillips, right wrist broken twice and snapped tendon.
nick, would carbons be strong enough.

Ergon grips?Carbon bars?
On road bike drops?
I just can`t do it either for the same reason, comes with auld age 🙄
I ride carbon bars on my road bike, and up until last weekend, on my Heckler...
No dramas here fella...
Ton - email euan_kerney@hotmail.co.uk. He'll give you some advice. 😉
poor position of bars and seat to much weight on you bars and/or slight twist in the wrists. Experiment with your position
carpal tunnel syndrome?
Try some bent bars like Brants Carnegie's Bars, they hold your hands and wrists in a more comfortable position than straight bars
After breaking my scaphoid last year I've had real issues with wrist pain. I use 661 wrist guard for riding (the massive one), ergon grips and carbon bar on the XC bike. I also adjusted bar/stem/saddle height so that I put less weight onto my wrists when riding. I can ride ok, but it still hurts. I don't think having a desk job & using mouse/keyboard helps.
You need to switch on the p+rn filter...
Sorry mate couldnt resist.
jedi, seen the quack a bit ago, he say's not carpal tunnel thing.
johnclimber, used marys, carniegies and h bars in the past, to no avail.
mary's were the best tho, might give em another blast.
thinking of maybe seeing a chiropractor, but dont know if they can do owt for wrists.
thank god the shanking left hand is the best......... 😉
can be refering from forearms too
worth a session with a bike fit person? this guy is local to me sure to be someone your way.
