Jeremy I am not sure how tall you are but I suggest you put some more
miles in before making any changes. When I first got my ST I was
concerned. Someone on this list told me to think about using my
stomach/back muscles to take my weight. I made this mental change and
have not looked back. I have done 12 hour days of twisties as well as
a SS1000 and have no problem with my wrists. FYI I am 5' 11"
