[Yak] Re: hand numbness

I agree with the information about the ulnar nerve.  In addition, if you have a bend in the wrist when you ride, as many people do, you're stretching the ulnar nerve around the wrist bones (carpals).   So the easiest fix would be to make sure your wrists are straight, not angulated, and figure out a position to keep your weight off the ulnar (numb) side of your hand.   It's an exercise in mindfulness.  Hope it works.  I second the idea that you should get a professional fit done.  About $100 plus parts if you need them, well worth it.
