I have a bad wrist &amp; 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 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.

I'm not sure about what specific handlebars those are, however the bar attachment seems to be so adjustable that it can conform to any I've seen and I've got 5 bike with straight bars, butterfly bars and racing bike bars. As long as there is a small "T" form where the bars are attached to the front stem extensions you are set to go.

The bar is too thin, so the fat gripz won't be gripping tight the bar. You can still somehow use them, but it's far from ideal.

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.

I would suggest to get a name brand one. I just use this for bmx and dirt jump style bikes and it is pretty wimpy and doesn't hold very well. the parts aren't very strong. hope this helps you out with your purchase.

Yes they can. You can also install the throttle boss along with the weights. The weights come with the screws you will need and it's very easy to install the weights and throttle boss. I installed the grips my self and it took a little effort but I was able to do it on my own. I have the grips, weights, and throttle boss. They make for a great addition on any bike, I highly recommend you get them.

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.

Wrap a 25 pound weight plate in a towel and put on the glide board with you when you workout. Also check you tube there is guy who added a weight bar to an older total gym glide board. The same thing might be possible on the Weider TB 5000. You can use the resistant bands also.

Can be used for wrist. It's very flexible. feels like sand or something similar provides the weight and the velcro strap fits all around

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.

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.

The BOB Flex should be a good choice for you. Adjustable handlebar is what they mean by "flex".

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.

Grip 4orce can definitely be used because that's just a matter of you squeezing down on them. As for Fat Gripz or Iron Bull goes the bar is thin and you'll get that annoying spin. A simple remedy is get some thin flexible rubber padding to place over the bar before applying the thick bar adapter of your choice. Yeah it's a bummer you just cant get a true 1" barbell bar. It's actually 7/8". 14" long dumbbell handles are the same thickness as this 5' bar, but 17" dumbbell handles allow adapter grips to fit snuggly. Go figure.

I used tape.... If you are picky about the grit, go to the bike shop and look at all the different types of handlebar wraps..... I imagine there is enough variety to make anyone happy.

It works really well for me. I was having issues with one of my wrists while lifting. Now that I have been using these gloves, I don't give it a second thought when I lift heavy.

I wouldnt use wristwrap hloves for sports. They lock your wrists from moving. Will likely hinder your ability to play...like changing grips
