I must try my own advice. I have the same problem with the Midge bar: my left palm just won't be comfortable. I taped a 1" X 2" aluminum plate on the end of the left hook to give my palm more surface, but my hand still gets numb.
Anyone want to trade for the Midge? I should have stuck with the 46 cm Noodle where I started. OTOH, the hoods on the Midge are wonderful ....
