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!

 Through everything presented, land and tide
 And now the very air, of what we ride."
