66, I was not designing a scientific graph, I got bored so i drew up a relatively pointless diagram.
My point was that hand fatigue due pressure between palms and handlebar is not isolated to sitting down on decents. Sudden bumps and constant vibration in the trail are what cause hand fatigue, regardless of whether one is sitting or standing. Why dont you take a joke on the knife to a gunfight comment? You seemed quite defensive. :D |

maybe, maybe not. you're trying to argue something different.
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. 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? |

Oh, so now you're sour because you were wrong? All i have to say is, "I told you so".

I'm glad you clarified that. I was beginning to think elf was a username for Bill Nye or the Ames Research Center or something.

You're completely misinformed but that's besides the point. Please enlighten me. |

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? rogues, and particularly ruffian grips are not that padded. again, you are missing out on what i'm trying to say. read carefully: depending on your grips to prevent hand fatigue while descending means you're doing something wrong otherwise. grips are a very, very small part of the overall equation. |

You seem to be full of hot air but quite deficient of informative answers.
