Oury grips? I rode with those all through the 90s for their bigness. They get really ugly, comfy, and tacky as they wear down.
To speak for residents of the yew-ess-ay, you’re basically correct. Everyone knows someone with huge debt from a medical event and a GoFundMe page. We have 400 million guns floating around and less than 10 million are registered. We also have astronauts, who apparently require a specified amount of flow from water bottles. I can only afford “value” bike parts, so can add my experience with multiple SunRace 11s 11-46 cassettes. They shift well, last well, and have a better ratio spread in the low gears than the bigger S companies. My guess is that its shifting wouldn’t impress the folks here who think Transmission e-whatever shifts “literally 10X better” than cable drivetrains but it’s absolutely fine.
