I have a bad wrist & the racing handlebars on my bike cause problems in that I have to put lots of weights on my wrist. What other type might work?

I would highly recommend this one http://www.bicycleeverything.com/products/Profile-Design-Aerolite-Clip-On-Aero-Bike-Bars.html It the best for me because it can handle a lot of pressure on it.

I have these bars and while riding there is almost no pressure on your wrists at all.. It's all in the forearm, and the wrists are only resting on the bars themselves. I suggest you buy some sort of tape before putting them on your bars because the metal clamps will scratch your handlebars, and in my opinion aren't quite tight enough by themselves. However, for the price these cant be beat.

I like these handles but they are not replacements for your road bars. They are for resting your wrists and shoulders on long straights. You can put shifter levers on them but not breaks. I use them on long straightaways that I'm familiar with that don't have dramatic curves or big potholes where quick maneuvers would be necessary. They take a lot of practice.

The bars have almost unlimited configuration options. With the forearm pads you should be able to eliminate some of the weight on your wrists. You can mount them in a more upright position and that should do the trick.

Go with the Saber. The handlebars are adjustable fore and aft as well as up and down. Also, the handlebars can be changed at your local bike shop to accomodate your personal preference; Saber utilizes regular BMX convention for the stem/bar combination.

Oddly, enough, try cutting a thumb hole and the top off a small sock in a way where the sock is just beyond the outside of the wrist brace so no part of the wrist brace is actually touching your skin. This will allow extra padding on the palm and avoid irritating the skin. This also allows for a methol rub to be applied to the wrist without gunking up the brace. Worked for me

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

My wrist is 6" and I wear the weight band with no problem. It wraps a bit further than designed for but this has not been a problem.

Hmm, what kind of bike and most importantly, handlebar, do you have? I have no problems at all mounting it on mine using one of the provided rubber rings. You should find images or videos about it using google.

A riser under the front wheel will make your workout much more comfortable, keeping the bike level. A 2x4 wood scrap works just fine, just not pretty like the store bought kind.

I would think that handlebar mounts would certainly be available from the manufacturer. Here is the URL for the website where you can order spare parts: http://www.shop.cygolite.com/

If your handle bars come out like a bike you might make it work you might have to get different straps to hold it on to . It is a nice basket ans sometimes you can get anything to work . You can always send it back .

I don't know, I put them on a mountain bike so I didn't care all that much about weight. They are 'ergodynamic' in that they are rather wide on top. I think this is to better fit your hand if you ride much on top. I am able to lay my forearms down on the wide top, which is comfortable, to get a better aero profile on some long flats. They are aluminum but probably heavier that typical road bars.

For an 8 diameter wrist I would just go with the wrap around wrist supports. I don't think it will fit your wrists. It is built in the USA though! (Don't think that matters at this point)

That's actually the reason i bought mine. Unfortunately while it does help, it doesn't completely work i also bought padded handle bar grips and worked on my riding grip. I still get numbness and pain when i ride but it takes much longer i can make small trips with no problem. I'm happy with mine just not happy with the price, they should have given you two for 25$ imo.

I wear a size large glove and find the L size GP2 grips work quite well for me. You will need to bring along a hex wrench for the first few rides to get the angle just right though.

To answer your question - yes. This is a fabulous brace. I were them because I snap my wrists when using weight. This keeps my wrist in place with a metal bar that goes from top to bottom - but very comfortable.

Sorry don't know. i use it for ankle weights. But i doubt it as it would interfere with wrist movement.

I have power blocks and I have used the Fat Gripz with them. You will need to put the Fat Gripz on the handles first, before adding the weights. It will work, but it's a tight fit.

Perhaps a foam bicycle grip? Check out bicycle grips and see which kind you would like. My son bought some in a roll and wrapped his handles real nice with those, and there are the foam ones also.
