Question on sore wrists and palms

[Biciclista]

can you sit on your saddle with no weight on your hands?
(maybe get someone else to hold the bike up for you?)
if you feel like you are sliding forward, you need to tip that saddle up a tiny bit more.

Saddle tilt is a possible fix, but weight distribution on a bike is a bit more complicated than that. If your saddle is too far forward relative to the bottom bracket, then you will likely bear too much weight in your hands. Tilting the saddle up a degree or two is not going to change that and could just lead to a different set of problems. I would add that the steep seat tube angles common to smaller frames can make getting your weight far enough back even more difficult.
