double wrap the handlebars for starters. some riders prefer bigger tires to soak up the vibrations...some of us prefer the smaller tires for their nimbleness
along with double wrapped h-bars and padded gloves to soak up the road vibrations. that wrist area is a complicated one and altho i don't put a ton of pressure
on them generally, that plus heavy braking on steep slopes does a number on them. i'll spend a little extra to protect the wrists vs the feeling every bump in the
road thankyouverymuch.

i've been happy with chiba gloves for the last 5-6 years.
