[Simpson]

urm right now my fingers are pretty raped and cut bruised index fingers inside of the finger rubs - trust its so hard to type not using you inex fingers

[am4zin]

It's worth a try if you have alternative grips just lieing abour, but to be honest I'd just say stick to it, you'll soon get used to it (unless you're not a new rider and you've been doing it a while!)

I use v-brakes with crappy standard levers, but I have not had a problem with them and they work fine for now.

MY FINGERS ARE SHREDDED TO BITS THEY HURT WELL BAD MY LEAVERS DIG IN TO MY FINGER ON BOTH HANDS AND IT IS WELL PAINFULL DANNY

[waddie metalhead]

I've been biking for 2 months now and my hands are toughnening up.

I don't know I the grips do anything, i think its propbly the gloves.

[Spaz Monkey]

my hands are blistered just below the fingers, and my left index finger is bruised and it hurt to brake, (paffectic incident trapped it on my pump), but lets all be men and toughen up, what hurts us only makes us stronger and pissed off in the short term

[Dan6061]

It'll hurt at first, but it'll all harden up.

And will be fine.

Unless you have blisters, they hurt like a bitch when they pop...

[trialsalot]

ive been riding for years.im calloused over and aint go blisters.the pain actually feels like its in the knuckles.the grips ive got are odi's summit like roughnecks or ruffians.ive had them for the past 2 years an they aint even started wearing through but im thinkin something thiner maybe better

Careful choice of grips and gloves goes a long way , but a few degreees more / less angling of bars can make a major difference too .

[cvtrial]

My fingers looks terrible, and it hurts YES, but Where's the point in this topic?

[trialsalot]

the point in this topic is to ask you guys for hep in finding a solution to my problem.im gonna try some thinner grips and angle the bars too.cheers for all the help peopl e

[0llie]

try foam grips

[planet x alan]

every now and then i get a sharp pain between the middle finger and the next one down towards the little finger, stopped hurting when the grips worn down. also i got bad pain in right index finger but changed front pads and it was fine

[trial-biker-ryan]

ah ha! i had this problem too! it took me months on end to find out how to stop the pain!

but... then i discovered a neat little thing that fits snug inside your gloves! gel inserts. they are think on the bottom and stop blisters and pain full stop! there reasonably priced to there about £12-15 per pair! and come in extra small, small, medium , large and extra large! and can

hope this helps...

ill start a new topic for this tip aswell

My fingers don't hurt that much after riding, but my right wrist does kill me afterwards.. I do get blisters in between my index finger and thumb sometimes..

I guess those gel inserts will help you.

Well when i've finished riding after a hard day of trials my fingers hurt too.

They're hard to bend for about an hour and it feels like i've got arthoritis-LOL I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL THIS!

But i run onza grips and i have big hands too.

Just have to live with it i guess.

This always happens and i've been riding nearly two years.(Properly)

It always seems to do it when i go ride my jump bike/ then transfer and go ride my trial bike mostly though.

AND BLISTERS KILL WHEN THEY POP!

i ride on/off trials and mountain bike, and worst i get is maybe sore wrists or arms lol, and i do a lot of lifting in my job to...you just need to live with the pain!!! be a man!!! and your body will soon develop a resistance.

adjusting your levers or bars so that your arms are "flush" ie straight. when you stand up(on the pedals, not sitting) reduces strain in wrists, arms and possibly fingers. i found doing this helps majorily, as for blisters calouses only advice i ahve is "live with it!!!"

[boris_on_trials]

my fingers hurt if they get caut in between my levers and grips

[1337 Trials]

I get a sore hand after 6+ hours of riding but my fingers are usually ok.Also I have hard skin just nelow my fingers

[onza t-rex]

Hi i have still got the original onza grips and the 05 levers. I also wear gloves which helps me grip the brake more and the bars. If you do not wear gloves try them because it might help

nick

[Tom1989]

try changing your gloves if that doesn't relieve the pain then try experimenting with other grips!

hope i helped

Hi

I thought of everthing which has been put down but only other thing i can think of but might sound laim is to go see a doctor thats what they are for but i might also say stop riding that will solve the problem hope it sorts its self out.
