Will relieve the wrist pain on road bike? Need another hand position, not training or racing. Will these bars work? Straight or S bend is better?

Ruben, they certainly have the potential to reduce wrist pain -- in using these such bars, the weight will be on your forearms as opposed to your hands. Make sure, too, that your saddle is properly adjusted -- ideally, your bodyweight will be distributed between your hands/arms, your saddle, and your feet. If your saddle is too high (or is angled forward), it may be that too much of your bodyweight is pressing into your hands. If you are buying these solely because of wrist pain, they very well may help -- but I personally would first make sure that your saddle is adjusted correctly :)

Yes. In my use of the Supra Curl Bar it appears to be designed precisely to permit the maintenance of a neutral wrist grip throughout the curl motion. I purchased the bar after using two similarly made attachments for the cable tower which use the same grips and rotational capabilities. In all cases hyper-extension and strain can be avoided and stress on the wrist is all but eliminated.

If I had this problem, here's what I'd try: Get a pair of bicycle handgrips (from Target or any sporting goods store). Cut the end off each so that they're now hollow tubes. Slice each grip lengthwise so you can slip it over the bar, with the solid part up and the slice down.

Your welcome. I build custom bikes and use to do maint. write-ups for my club's news letter,learned the hard way and enjoy helping people. You may still get a pinch flat as this happens when something pushes the tube into the rim. Overall, the liners work. Hope you ride with your kids. BOL.

I did use them on one 5k row (stationary rower) and they worked ok. There is not any rotation of the hand or sustained weight pulling against them and it was fine. I would still go with a different option for the price tag. I saw a pair of these on eBay recently starting at $0.99 bid and asked the seller what they thought. He had a very negative opinion as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I would recommend giving these a try. The pain you are experiencing could be due to the fact that while doing regular pushups, your palm is flat on the floor and the angle of your wrist is extreme. With these, your wrist stays parallel with your arm, so there's no bending, thus, no stress on the wrist.

it does for a co worker of mine, its the only way he can do pushups. I like this because its portable, and your adjust in mid extension if you feel discomfort. But I would test out the wrist pain issue with a couple regular dumbbells at the gym first, that way you dont spend the money if you dont have to. But it does allow your wrists to stay straight during all movement. You could always wrap your wrists too like a boxer for added support during it.

It's intended to keep your wrist straight, but can vary based on how tight you make it. It doesn't bend at all Your wrist can certainly bend inside of it if loose enough. The tighter you make it the straighter your wrist is. I started throwing a hook recently so I keep it a little loose, but still tight enough to support my wrist. But yeah, primarily this wrist guard is meant for someone who throws a straight ball and you'll get much more use out of it that way! I was just too cheap to buy one for a hook ball XD

If you can move the grips and shifters off of the bar, these would slide down anywhere on the bar. Not sure if the angles would be right. I havs seen something similar mounted on the middle of the bar. Not sure it would have the same effect.

Yes, you should have no problems especially for down hills. Any wrist wrap worn too tight for an extended duration will cause some discomfort, I recommend loosening them up at intervals and then re tightening. We stand by our 100% satisfaction guarantee so there is no risk. Give them a try and have a great ride.

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.

You can do wrist curls without the blocks getting in the way. Also, with something like tricep extensions, you just hold the out side of the block instead of by the inner handle. There have only been a couple of things that have been a little awkward for me, but I just adjust the way I'm holding them a little bit and they work just fine.

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.

I would advise using a Triathlon bar instead. they come with elbow pads and have the same effect, but let you rest more easily. they also cost about 10x more, but if money is no issue! typically they are adjustable as far as arm length goes.

For an inexpensive grip they are pretty good, although they don't have as much support as Ergonomics Grips. Well worth the money if you can't afford Ergons. I bought these for my son because he was having wrist pain on his mtn. bike. They fit standard sized bars (99% of bikes).

I love it.. but problem with my left blind still challeage for me to figure exactly where I have to figure out before make turn left or right on side. Honesty I have no complaint about this

Yes, however they are minor. First is the width of the bar. It's good to switch it up every now and again, but the curl bar is very thin. Second, the way you position your wrists will be different, thus working different muscles and different angles. So, it's totally up to you.
