Yosmithy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I switched over to thes GS-1'swhen I got my Yeti last year. I changed out my bars for a brief experiment recently and regretted immediately the swap without the GS-1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Handle Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 In semi-related product reports, I bought some Specialized gloves, fingerless for long roadie type rides, that have a pad in the palm that is supposed to relieve numbness but I actually think they're causing numbness where I didn't actually have any before. I've been pushing to do longer rides (for me) so I thought it was having ridden for 5 or 6 hours but even shorter rides bring numbness with these gloves, I am starting to believe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yeah, I stay away from the thick padded gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosmithy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Also agree with the padded gloves. I always felt like I was griping tighter with them on, thus increasing the hand numbness/cramping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larlev Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Definitely agree with padded gloves. Made it worse for me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Handle Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 They're not those ones with thick chunky pads. The pad is very thin, you can't see it protruding from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I prefer minimal padding at all contact points on the bike. Too much padding will cause soft tissue compression making things go numb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
