Yeah. Or when you're fingers stop working because of nerve damage.
I'm very happy with open pave.
On the point of nerve damage, get gel pads and put them under your bars where you normally grip them. Also consider double tape or a think tape under your preferred tape. This will take our some road buzz.
I was going to use gel for PBP but I couldn't face retaping the bars. In the end I didn't need it but 1200k vs. 6000k... I tend to agree with you. Then again, TransAm I'll be back on aerobars so it's possibly less of an issue than PBP.
I ride aerobars and I still got it.
Try riding aerobars over slabbed Italian roads when tired and you'll fall off.
For the sake of a few gel pads it's worth it.
