  • Riding in the drops of my road bike keeping first finger on the brake lever, after about 30 - 40 minutes I start get get a numb hand, but only the right hand. Any ideas?

  • I had similar issue riding crit; added a spacer and it stopped. Basically reduce weight on hands. Do you bend or arch your back? You can do the letting go of hands while in drops test ..

    As soon as you arch and get used to it your hands will have less weight to support your upper body. Requires a bit (not a lot) of core strength and hamstring flexibility. Try the position off bike and you'll know what muscles are used.

  • I sometimes get this, I think its jersey digging into armpit.

  • Try riding on the hoods?
