Scrod, saw you have Champ grips on your Leader. Do yours get all slippery when you sweat? If my hands get all sweaty i end up grabbing the bars harder, then my hands start to hurt after awhile. I have gloves and can wear them and that fixes it, but i feel like i'm "so pro" if i'm just trying to go <10 miles with friggin gloves on. I have bullhorns, which may make the "sliding toward the ends" worse whereas you have a riser. Do they maybe get slipperier with age or something? I remember them being almost tacky when i put them on at first.

Totally fine in cool weather, however. Also i'm a sweaty fat bastard, so...
