...thumbs? Any of you swept bar riders experience pain between your thumbs and forefingers while riding? I recently switched from a 3 degree sweep to a bar with 11 degrees and have been rotating the bar in the stem occasionally to get different wrist angles, but it still hurts. Is this just a normal adjustment period? Any advice on things to tweak on the bike, maybe stem length? For the record it's a Salsa Pro Moto bar.

chech the angle of your shifter brake pods.

He rides single speed so would only have brake levers.

Did you go with wider bars?

ok check the brake levers.

Took a look and they're comparable to the angle of those on my other bikes.

Did you go with wider bars?

Yeah, they're a bit wider.

I need to put the measuring tape to it again and get a better look at how the cockpit looks compared to my other bikes.
