Wrist comfort question?
Hi wonderful fitters of the internet. I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I am not sure where else to ask. My wife has gotten into cycling with me. For her birthday a few years ago I took her to a lbs and let her pick out a bike. She rode one for fun as a kid and around campus in college but nothing serious on trails or roads. I tried to get her on a gravel bike or a maybe a hardtail mountain bike but she really wanted a step through cruiser type. We rode a decent amount on local roads that year but she has not ridden much since. We were talking about bikes the other day and it turns out she has been secretly riding my surly straggler and loves it💜. We are the same height so that works. My question (finally) is this; She has wrist pain whenever she rides, I was wondering if you all had any ideas for something that might help? Right now my bike has flat bars and I could change them out but she says she thinks she prefers flat bars.
I am not sure if these are still a thing but the handlebar ends that all mountain bike from the late 90’s and early 00’s the bull horn ones. Are they still a thing and could that help? Or am I looking at changing out the bars completely and to what?
When she works on her computer she has a vertical ergonomic anti fatigue mouse that keeps her wrist pain free and that is what made me wonder could changing her grip help?
Thanks in advance. I am happy to answer any questions.
