  • Do you have aerobars? Are you using them? They're probably the single biggest change you can make to take pressure off your hands.

  • yeh I had aerobars and used them a lot in this last race – they definitely helped general comfort and provided relief in my hands but unfortunately didn't mitigate the problem. I also had them on my MTB earlier in the year for an offroad race but barely used them as the terrain just didn't suit them

  • I'm no expert and you should probably talk with a professional. But, ulnar nerve flossing could help, you could google some exercises. I suppose it might also be your neck instead of you hands that's causing the problems, nerves pinching somewhere further. And with aerobars I feel it's important to have extensions that put you wrists in a neutral position, which many of the straighter extensions don't really do, I'd say it's better to have a proper bend in them. And on the MTB I like the inner barends for a slightly different position that's still good enough for some of the terrain and keeps your fingers on the brake levers.
