my basic premise: expecting your grips to prevent hand fatigue means you're doing something wrong. and you said it yourself: first ride. doesn't exactly give a ton of data to instantly prove it was your grips. give it a few rides before deciding.
bottom line: i'm assuming you have or will swap back to some of your other grips. if you haven't or don't, then there isn't much point about you whining about it on here.
Your argument is summed up by, "it very well could be something else much more important than the obvious solution".
Excessive pressure on your palms cuts circulation to your hands, assuming that I am already off my saddle when going downhill, the blatant solution is to improve my hands position on the bar by giving them more support. You are using ODI Rogues/ruffians, both well padded compared to these bontragers. Where do you find that you have any knowledge on the situation?
