Hi all, Got a new bike/setup and purely on descents I’m feeling a strong pull on the outer 3 fingers of each hand throughout the whole run, sore after a day, I’m consciously not death gripping the bars that’s for sure, I’m thinking the right way to adjust the setup before I go out next is raise the bars? Anyone else experienced this?

Hmm, I'm thinking the geometry isn't quite setup for you. Reach is probably more than's comfortable for you. Raising and rotating the bars is a start for definite, could possibly even need a shorter stem as well.

You probably need a bar with more backsweep and a shorter stem...try some comfier grips to like odi dreadlocks or esi.

My money is on your grips are to thin or just not enough padding in them causing your hands to take a battering.

Try some fatter grips, I like Lizard Skins North Shore grips, easy to put on and they have a decent amount of padding to them. Or something like Wolf Tooth fat paw which offer the maximum amount of padding a grip can offer.

Alternatively I would also look at raising your bar height and/or reducing the reach.

After about 65yrs hanging on to handlebars, I can vouch for the ODI Dreadlocks also. Not sure if that is your issue though. As suggested, try rotating your bars forward & backward & see if a different position helps.
