Haven’t seen any wear/damage to the textured surface yet but I’ll keep an eye on it. Any special circumstances in terms of storage or lots of crashes? I’ve run a couple pairs of grips and put ‘er down a few times but no real surface damage yet - only a matter of time based on the appearance of my other bars.
Totally agree that I’d love to see more options. I’d like to ride a 20-degree bar for a while to try it (love 16-degree). The issue I have (where 10-degree is ideal) is that short offset forks limit stem length adjustment (only feel right with 30-45mm stem?) so to run more bar sweep (reduces effective Reach at hands) I need to consciously size up a frame - like with my new custom hardtail.
