Yeah, they were tingling. My Kona has Ergon grips and I'm also able to sit in the saddle while riding. My son's Haro is too small, so I had to support more of my weight on my hands than what I'm used to.
Other than the fit being an issue, the braking was less than inspiring. Going downhill, I would have the hand brake fully squeezed and it only slowed me down- it wouldn't stop me. Off the bike, the brakes lock up the wheels, but I guess I'm too heavy for them...
