Spank vibrocore rims - anyone has it?
Are they really more comfortable? Do this extra foam in rim really does something?

Hijacking this thread for vibrocore bars since no one responded to rims.
Seriously considering my own hack by stuffing bits of pool noodle foam into a spare set of FSA bars. Beats spending $110 only to be disappointed. Probably attempting this weekend after a ride so I can compare before and after. Will post pics.

Good idea. The FSAs I have on are nice but rode some washboard this morning and it could be better. I’ll probably still pick up the Vibrocore to A/B compare.
