Need to get rid of pains caused by distance!

Your gloves may just need some time to stretch. I got new gloves a few weeks ago and noticed them wedging into my webs the first couple rides with them. Never had this with other gloves, but it went away, so guess they stretched out.

I have found that gloves with any gel padding make my hands go numb. I have one pair that have been washed so much, it doesn't hurt any more, but I have 2 pairs that my husband ordered for me on line that i just can't wear. I buy the plain Terry gloves with no gel at all. That might help you.

The gloves thing just started happening to me on the last ride I was on. But then I noticed that I had torn a small hole in the part that hits my webbing, and I guess when I had put my gloves on I'd put my finger through the hole and not the finger opening. Guess that explains it!

Also I've noticed the cutting into my webbing things some other times, but mostly when I'm doing a lot of scary fast long downhills as there seems to be more weight on my hands then and I am usually deathgripping the brakes/hoods.
