[RBW] Re: Leather gloves (fingerless mitts) ?
Golf gloves, driving gloves? Those are the only ones I can think of. Part of the problem with finger and hand tingling is the angle of you wrist, that's why the Ergon grips work so well, they prevent the wrist from bending inward. I used to have that problem with drops until I moved the brake handles closer so I could relax that joint. Riding on the hooks, at least for me, puts my wrists at risk to say nothing of the rest of my body so I avoid it. Besides wearing glove since my first experience in pavement hitting as a kid, I also use them for spinning since I sweat so much they only way I can keep my hands on the bars! Good luck..

thanks, but your analysis is incorrect. I ride with straight wrists and bent elbows - the problem is squeezing of my hands by the padding. It is not tingling or numbness, it is pain.

Shoes? We don't need no stinkin' shoes! [queue rebellious teen music...] Grin. Have you tried a pair of form fitting leather work gloves and just cut the fingers off? You could spend as little or as much as you want, from cheep work gloves to fancy driving gloves.

I use the crochet backed gloves that Riv sells. I also found the padding to be too thick and uncomfortable. I just carefully remove the padding giving me a thin glove.

Tom, as I have an idle pair of these, I was thinking of trying just that - I have a nice set of Hiro knives.
