The throttle friction wheel is not perfect on the ups and downs, but you can still adjust your throttle with it on. It still takes a lot of the stress off your throttle hand.

You may not have been doing it the correct way. Did you use Olive Oil?

Get one of the plastic clamps that provide a wrist rest. In fact, that is the first thing I would recommend that you get for your new bike. It will make you laugh when people ask if a Sporty is good for long distance rides.

I had one of those plastic wrist rest thingys on my Sporty once. I took it off cause I couldn't get used to the damn thing. It was in the way.
