does your hand go numb?

when im riding i develope a numb sensation in my right hand first my thumb then the index finger
this doesnt get any better as time goes on
it certainly get's worse in the cold
ive adopted *shelltex gloves that are nice and warm
they help but dont cure it
quite simpley the vibration through the bar's can result in vibration white finger
can result in the permanent loss of sensation in the fingers
this isnt good it can be a crippling condition
you can alieviate it by changing the way you grip the throttle no end of tricks like locking it off and such like which possibley could be dangerous
i know we all do it but its bad
I found this for less than a fiver
makes life a lot easier
doesnt cure it but changes the way you can grip and means you can ride in greater comfort for longer use the palm of your hand or thumb to apply the throttle
fits in seconds
tried it for 2 months and it does work
