Changing the saddle can help alleviate pressure on hands/wrists as well. I tipped the nose of my saddle up a notch and that really helped to shift my weight back, making a surprising difference in pressure on the handlebars. I also use a brooks saddle and it is slippery and allows me to move around a lot on the seat. Of course it also allowed me to slide more forward than I needed to be as well. It is true-small adjustments can make a big difference. I decided to move the seat nose up another notch just to see what happens. Quickie test ride this morning. Its finally cooled off here a bit in NEO.
