Great article Dru, I like how you chew up standard conventions
and to fartymarty
Do you have carpel tunnel or ulnar tunnel problems? The difference is that with ulnar tunnel, its the ring and pinky fingers that go numb. I discovered a fix for ulnar tunnel by rotating my bars back to a more level plane (not upswept like a trials or bmx bike, but not rotated dipping down like a MotoGP/crotch rocket type bike) and putting all the volume spacers in my fork and making it as progressive as possible (moves very easily in the first mm's but ramps up to provide support very quickly).
Plus it can take a year for such nerve damage to repair, and physio and stretching can help
