Long time reader, first time commenter. Thanks for this review and also the review on push-on grips. Over the last year, I've had increasingly more pain in my hand, specifically in my ring finger which locks in place and is hard to straighten again — known as trigger finger.
I've been looking at a variety of solutions — bars with different sweeps, thicker or softer grips, etc. Your reviews have given me some good starting points on what to consider.
But maybe the most insightful nugget came from a comment you left here: Spank bars being crazy stiff. About a year ago I switched from a Renthal fatbar lite to Spank Oozy — right about the time my hand pain ratched up.
I think I'll put off that doctor visit a little longer and try some new bars and grips!
