Hi Try a different glove. Normally a tight fitting padded glove will work. If that is what you already use then try a non padded moderate duty work glove that fits nice and snug. If the gloves are loose they will wrinkle or fold in the palm and create hot spots. You may even try a larger glove with a light polypro type liner.

I hope this may be of some use to you.

PINKMOON.

Try putting knuckle bandaids at the base of your fingers so that part of the strap goes between each finger and the other side of the strap goes down into your palm. I have a friend that gets them constantly when he doesnt do that... works pretty good for him....

You need to relax a bit. It can be caused by gloves and grips but I bet you have a "death grip"on the bars because you're too tense. I used to get them many years ago but I am aware now when I grip to hard and just relax
