bar ends?

[Cataboo]

To tie this back into bar ends - this is what I replaced on the surly - riser bars + bar ends. Mostly I think the bars were just too wide.

Another vote for Ergons I used them with "some" success before I did finally replace my bar

I had my bike fitting today, and one of the many changes was to replace my stock 7.6 FX grips to Ergon grips. My hands started feeling better immediately When he suggested them, I couldn't help but to remember the various positive comments on this forum about them, so it made the decision easy to make.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I may have to take a trip to my LBS, have them fix my pedals (take the floppy plastic foot things off) and play touch and feel with their handlebar/grip/bar end options. The configuration of my 7.6 is wonderful, I no longer have the back/leg issues that I had riding my 20 yo mountain bike, it's down to hand issues now, which i'm hoping will be an easy fix trying out some of these great suggestions

Other than the grips rotating, what hand issues are you having? numbness at all? One thing to make sure of is that your wrist isn't bent back towards you - you want your shifters in sort of a wrist neutral position, so you don't have to bend your wrists back towards you when using them.
