Put one on the other side and you can call them Nerf Bars for performing Pitt maneuvers on other bikes.
As far as damaged spokes, I had a similar issue with my Campagnolo NR with Rally cage apparently causing damage to 4 drive side spikes before Eroica 2019. Luckily was caught when I brought the wheel into my LBS for bearing service and a freewheel swap - besides the damaged spokes, I had at least 6 other spokes loose. Thankfully they were replaced, retightened, and trued. I rechecked and adjusted the limit screws prior to the ride.
Shutter to think what might have happened on the Santa Rita or Cypress climb at maximal effort.
