The consequences are discomfort and pain of various kinds. The GC1 is anatomically and ergonomically shaped for this type of handlebar correcting positions of the hands and preventing common grip discomforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNerve relief\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen riding, your hands support much of your upper body weight on the handlebars, placing a great deal of weight distribution on a relatively small grip area. In many cases this pinches the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve that runs near the base of the palm near the pinky and close to the skin’s surface. Prolonged pressure in this area often causing numbness. The wing grip increases the hand’s resting platform area by distributing pressure over a wider surface and thereby preventing discomfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic solution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your wrist is bent too much for too long\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ergon","offers":[{"title":"Biokork","offer_id":48203529060587,"sku":"FP_10381","price":99.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/8808\/9835\/files\/mediumProduct_HBFGSASKU892_686732.jpg?v=1777950075","url":"https:\/\/www.hukacycles.nz\/products\/ergon-gc1-grips","provider":"Huka Cycles Taupo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
