Grips
 
Well I was wondering about weather y'all would suggest getting ergo grips or gel gloves? Not trying to start any trouble, but my hands start hurting after a while when I ride so I would like to do something about it. So if y'all have any suggestions the advice will appreciated.

What does the weather have to do with it?
I have Ergon grips on both my bikes and wear gloves for all but short trips. Bike gloves for warm weather and jersey's for colder.

I've got the Ergon grips with the bar ends and they're great! I also wear a pair of Specialized BG gloves, these aren't the gel version but they do have padding over the area of the heel of your hand and the pads just behind your fingers. They don't have any padding in the area where the nerves run through your hands. With the grips and the gloves I have completely eliminated numbness in my hands, so I can highly recommend this setup.

Highly recommend the Ergon Grips, I've got Reiter's Sydrome Arthritis, it effects ALL the main joint area's including the wrists and riding without the Ergon Grips is painful.

The whether might have nothing to do with it,get the grip first and gloves later, my 5 cents (inflation).

I have a pair of BD gloves as well. Been using them for a week and couldn't be happier. They are very, very comfortable.
