okay i've adjusted the handlebars to the best of my ability (even moving the right brake lever over so that my right hand wouldn't rest on the grip shifter) and i now realize that the more days in a row that i ride my bike, the more excruciating the pain is (and the more grip strength i lose--and that problem had almost gone away when i took a few days off of the bike).
i watched my arms and hands while i was riding today, and they did want to turn a little, so just for the hell of it i want to try the north road bars. is it bad if i buy bars that cost 7 dollars?

should i buy them?
i can't find a darn thing about this model of bar, like what size it is or if it's made of cheese or designed to shatter into a thousand pieces or what. is it to be avoided? i think i just bought a new light system (waiting for confirmation email) so i can't afford to spend a lot of money on handlebars if there's a risk that they won't make my arms feel better. but i decided not to ride to work tomorrow because my arms hurt so bad, so i have to do something. i don't want to drive; i want to ride. i just dont think i should.
thanks !
