I've understood numb fingers are more of the result of ulnar nerve and some other nerves being constricted. That extra padding on the bars would help with bruising on the palms, which I hear is problem for some, not that much with finger numbness. So the reason would maybe be in having weight on the wrists for long periods and continuing bending of elbows.
Would think varying positions would help, but maybe it's not enough then. Tcr veteran Mäkipää adviced to do some stretching and flossing to prevent it, also while riding.
Maybe you know all this already, but it's somewhat new to me.

That's me. Hi everyone, I'm new here.
Really was a beautiful event. The people and the route. Maybe next time I'll try to go under 50h, shouldn't be too hard to take at least some of the time off from how I rode now. Or 90h while enjoying more wine. Shame we'll have to wait for 4 years. But you seem to have some interesting rides in the calendar in the UK. And then there's some 1200 in Russia not far from the border next summer.
I think I read somewhere they indeed stopped making the new model because they break. Although the Expedition size seems to be holding up, from what I've heard, as it has thicker tubing than the Sport.
The steel rod on my bagman has some indents at the ends for the bolts. I believe they started making them that way a couple of years ago. Could've just made the whole clamp of steel and weld it, like they did the aluminum one. Here's someones review with picture of the holes for the bolts.
Easier access than on a bikepacking tyle bag. And doesn't sway like those often do. And pretty much waterproof.
