Do you know Grant Peterson?

He doesn't believe anything all of the other cyclists do either. What do you suggest as a relief for having too much weight on your hands with a bike that in all other respects fits? I am saying the methods described by some of the posters do indeed seem to help. I have no trouble doing 40 to 60 miles on the hoods now that I have learned the set up that works for me, maybe not you.
