I’m surprised to hear that comparison re. 30X vs. SixC. If I push on my 45mm rise 31.8 SQLab vs. a 35mm clamp SixC bar I can see the difference in flex, and I certainly find the SixC to be one of the stiffer bars on the market. That’s not good or bad, but I generally find myself recommending along with the Chromag BZA to folks looking for the stiffest front end.
That’s the human animal for you though. Glad to hear your experiments with backsweep have served you well.
Have you tried any of the thick silicone grips like Wolf Tooth’s? I have friends with bad hand cramping who swear by them, but they’re too thick for my mitts.
