It's happened to me with every flat-style (i.e., non-drop) bar I've ever
used.

It's interesting. The only two bikes in my fleet that give me
occasional numbness both have flat bars. On my mountain bike I'll get
numbness on my two smallest fingertips (pinky and ring finger) on both
hands if I'm mountain biking for more than ~2 hours. On my Rosco Road
I'm running Jitensha bars and I get similar numbness at the tips of my
pinky and ring finger on my left hand, doing my typical 18 mile (each
way) commute several days in a row. I'm experimenting with a
different model of grips this season on my mountain bike. I'm
considering switching the Rosco Road back to drop bars

The nerve location is the same on most everyone. There are
variations, but the general location is the same. The neurologist
said to not put pressure there to avoid nerve damage, so I assume
it would be the same for all cyclists or anyone who might suffer
from repetitive impacts in that area.
I just posted the photo, first up on #Dirtdancedesigns on
instagram, showing where she drew the “X’s”, so people don’t have
to dig. I can’t post photos here on my IPad yet. Haven’t figured
it out.
I love the looks of the Albastache, but the brake lever rotation
problem (quick brake lever access is a big safety issue) and the
nerve impingement issue killed it for me.
