I'm perpetually seeking a good fit, next time I'll use the LBS near me.
Anyway how are your arms extended when you're riding? You want them to be slightly bent towards an L shape. You mentioned rotating the bars? So that the drop bar ends are higher or so that the brake hoods are higher?
Do you have a threadless stem that you can easily flip or is it an older quill stem?
When I bought my new pair of gloves my hands got numb again. For me raising my bar height helped numbness.
The saddle pain will probably diminish, I've gone from mtb to road and there's different pressure point areas. Chamois creme helps, sometimes shorts with less padding also helps. Is your saddle slammed backwards even with a setback post?
