My hands start to go numb, (one at a time, usually left one first) about 30 minutes into a ride, no matter which bike I'm on. I bought a pair of gel pad gloves - they give me an extra 5 or 10 minutes before the numbness starts. I'm a little disappointed, I was expecting a better result.
Moving hands around on the bars every few minutes seems to be the best solution. I also try to keep my wrists as straight as possible, this seems to help, too.
