Anyone else get really sore, tired hands and fingers after a ride? I've noticed this for a while, it's like an ache i can't really put into words.

Any remedies?

Started suffering recently too - tried a variety of things, - changed bar position, tried a different length stem so I was putting less weight on my hands, got some new gloves as others were well worn and gel inserts seemed less effective than when I first had them. Felt slight improvement, but that might be purely psychological. Recent thread on here had a a number of people extolling the virtues of ESI silicone grips so going to give them a go next.

Those weird shaped ergo grips can help.

I started a thread on this a few weeks back.

One thing I have since found helps is to take my wedding ring off as it's quite bulky and I think it transfers pressure and vibration into that hand (my left hand was always worse).

I also found the Endura mitts that I had were better than my Specialised gloves. So maybe differences in glove padding shape and amount are relevant.

I may try some Ergons next to see if I can improve things further.

There was some other good advice on that other thread.
