LOL - I've only read a few threads on TE, and I've already seen you reference Pruitt's book! I think I'm going to have to pick up a copy. Sounds like it must be packed with good info.
Thanks!

This is something I'm trying to work on correcting in myself. I tend to lean or rest my weight on my hands too much with my elbows locked which kinks my wrists. Then numb hands. Relax your arms and keep your elbows bent making your body hold up it's own weight. If you can't do ths your bike may need adjusting.

Getting one of those stress balls can help by strengthening your wrists
I had problems on my bike (MTB), but I got handlebar extenders and have forced myself to regularly change my grip as I've riding, which has helped
