I'll give that a try, but I actually spend more time on top of the hoods (if that makes sense) instead of "in" them. So in that position, my wrists are straight and thumbs are neutral and everything feels good so far. I rode 30 miles the other day, and for the first time in forever had no issues with numbness in my hands. But, I can see what you are getting at, so if I do have any troubles ongoing, I'll give that a shot. Thanks.
