So I got GRX Shifters instead of ultegra as the consensus was that the shape was nicer.
I think the shape is good, but what I don't like, and didn't expect, is the ridges on the hood rubbers. I can see them being ideal for extra grip on day rides off road where you're wearing gloves, but my plan is to use them on ultra races where I mostly don't wear gloves and am a bit worried about them ripping my skin off after a few days.
Someone said that there are aftermarket replacements but I haven't been able find any non shimano ones. I'm going there might be smooth ones that would fit, anyone know of any?
