My little fingers ache when I put my hands too wide on the bars and they overhang the ends. The fingers might not be doing much but I guess you brace on the grips with the outside bit of your palm rather than the middle and then I get roughly around my outside knuckles.
Are they 800mm bars? I'd consider moving the levers further in again.

I am only covering brake with index finger. I don't understand why the rest of my hand is achy - little fingers in particular - it's not like they're providing the most grip. Even on straight bits I was taking every opportunity to put my hands on top (ie. with zero grip force) to make sure I wasn't death gripping. I might ditch the SID grips and get something bigger squishier to see if that makes any difference.
