I'm 6'4" and was getting pain in the hands after just a few minutes with or without gloves on my 58cm gravel bike. I knew I was putting too much weight on them. I opted for an adjustable stem that brought the bars closer and raised them. I've also tilted the bar back a little to distribute the weight over my whole hand and not just on the palm while on the hoods. Since I spend almost all the time on the hoods, I also ride no-handed when and where I can to relieve pressure on the hands. All of this has taken a very uncomfortable ride to something much more comfortable.
