Hello,
I'm new to cycling & as I'm totaly obsessed at the moment & it's getting cold I thought I'd invest in some gloves.
After trying on a few pairs at my local I settled on a pair of Specialized that seemed a good mix of price & comfort. They made a point of stating they have a gel pad that "reduces hand numbness by relieving pressure on sensitive ulnar nerves".
The thing is... I didn't get numb fingers until I started wearing the gloves, well maybe slightly after a long ride (75kms is long for me), but nothing like now. After around 30kms the two small fingers on my left hand are numb & my whole hand is so weak I find it difficult to use the shifter. The following day my fingers are still slightly numb & weak.
Has anyone else experienced this?
