I would say, they only time i might have some tension is when i'm riding out of the saddle, going up hill, but usually, i feel ok, but naturally, i do have some weight on my handle bars, but i feel like, everyone has that some what, and by hands are not numb or anything.
I was thinking, if it had to do with flat handlebars, or is that theory not true, since mountain bikers ride for 3 hours at a time in one hand position?
