Bad vibes

[killa]

Hey all. Just wondering if any of you have issues with vibration through bars affecting bones etc. I've hardly ridden recently but I did take a short run to a country pub with a couple and have a sore bone on my wrist joint.
I'm not convinced it's just the bike but in case I can improve on it, do different compounds of grips make a difference?

Grip puppies thread.

Spooge some silicone sealant into the bars. I've not tried it, but it sounds like a laugh, at least for someone else to have a go at.

Heavier bar end weights?

I recently got back on the bike after on-off stints because winter and had wrist pain because heavy clutch. After a few days of constant riding it seems less noticeable. Different issue, I appreciate, but I sense the resolution is the same: getting used to riding again.

I'm serious about the silicone, by the way.

I've heard good things about these, my brother-in-laws dad uses them (he has arthritis) and he says they work wonders, but I can't personally vouch for them as I've never used them

I've used grip puppies.

Yeah they absorb some vibration but I find they make the grip a bit too large in diameter for my teensie hands. Additionally, because they are softer they require a bit more a firm grip to prevent throttle closure so I got a different type of "issue" while using them.

I say issue, you get used to it. I used some R&G super grippy things and once they wore through I wanted to try some puppies. Preferred the R&G softer/grippy type things.

YMMV
