Next Question Regarding Bar Ends

Hello Again!!!!

I have bar ends and I like to rest the inside of my palm (right under the thumb of each hand) on the ends of the bar ends), but I have brand new cycling gloves which have the main amount of padding on the pinky side of your palms. My old gloves had the same amount of padding on both sides and the new ones (Specialized 02 Pro Gloves) only have the padding on the one side.

This is directly from the description on Specialized' website.


"The Body Geometry glove concept is simple: get rid of the rest of the padding - which does nothing to address the actual problem, anyway - and concentrate it instead where it does the most good, dissipating pressure against the rider's ulnar and median nerves."

The problem is, since I do rest the OTHER portion of my palm on the bar ends, what can I put on the bar ends to add comfort. I know the obvious answer is "don't put your hands there" but that is not an option. I thought that maybe I could add a rubber end to each bar end**********? Any suggestions??? New gloves is also not an option because I have no more access to the credit card!!!!!!!
