It had those when I bought it but they had gotten all covered in some kind of oily gunk and they seemed to be degrading. Rode with them a 3-4 hour rides and noticed the numbing. I bought some gloves and and some of Felt's locking mountain bike grips and I like it. Of course it's most likely poor posture on my part that causes it, but the thinner grips help me feel how I'm actually positioning my hands and whether I'm putting my weight on them while also not having enough padding to pinch nerves.
