I’ve struggled with wrist pain and hand numbness as well. I ride a drop handlebar road bike long (100-125 mi) multi-day rides all around the state. Shaking my hands, holding them in the air, frequently moving my hand position, wearing well padded gloves, adjusting my seat and handlebars have never been a complete solution. I found aero bars to be a miracle cure. About 20-30 seconds in them and the numbness is gone. I also made a custom fit pad that sits on top of the brake hood. It gives me 1” of padding and allows me to ride on the heel of my palm rather than straddle the hoods with my thumb and forefinger. I don’t need gloves any more and all the shock, vibration and numbness is gone. I don’t know why someone hasn’t come up with the idea before so I decided to take a shot and make a product out of my design. Here is my website.
