Usually you can tell if the numbness is from too much weight on your hands. You should be able to remove your hands completely from the handlebars while pedaling and not have a hard time keeping your body in the same position. Otherwise you have too much weight on your hands.

Another possibility is that your arms are relaxed but you are squeezing with your hands?
