I don't think that I would call numbing normal. I can ride my indoor trainer for well over an hour without any signs of numbness. My understanding is that numbness is mostly caused by the saddle, saddle adjustment, and overall bike fit. I use a specialized toupe on my cross bike, and I have a selle italia strike on my tri bike. The specialized is more comfortable (once it broke me in), but I dont notice numbness with either one. I would suggest messing with the saddle adjustments, maybe drop the nose a little bit, and if that doesnt work, maybe a new saddle is in order.
