Instead of buying Spenco handlebar pads from your local bike shop,
why not buy mine? I took them off after my first long ride using
them. I feel that they are inferior to Grab-ons because they are not
thick enough. No doubt, were they the same thickness, they would be
superior to Grab-ons.
Note that the "long ride" I am talking about was the Mt. Hamilton
Challenge (familiar to you SF Bay area types), which is a 130 mile
killer ride. After this ride I had numbness and weakness in my
hands for several months!

"The surest thing there is is we are riders,
And though none too successful at it, guiders,
Through everything presented, land and tide
And now the very air, of what we ride."

I assume that the numbness and weakness in your brain that made you want to go on that ride in the first place is permanent. :-) :-)
