It's possible your saddle is too far back. This could cause you to have to lean too far forward and put more weight on your wrists. Check your fore/aft adjustment with this pic:


With one of your cranks pointed straight ahead,and the ball of your foot on the pedal spindle,check for a straight line from the front of your knee to the pedal spindle.

This may not fix your problem,but it will at least rule something out,and it won't cost you anything.
