For me numb hands occurred with rough roads and aggressive riding position and or saddle to handlebar to close. Both cases increased the amount of weight on my hands. I also have some hand soreness / numbness on mustache bars extended to far out. In all cases rough roads make it worse. Since selling my race bike and buying a AHH I haven't worn gloves or experienced any issues. Well one exception, Brooks Tape, rough roads and long ride with no gloves. But then it was minor. I don't wear gloves. On the Mustache Bars I raised bars with dirt drop which brought it back a touch as well. Been a nice ride since.
