JEL said:Don't want to necropost, but just saw this thread and wondered: Is it really a 'problem' (Other than perhaps a visual one)?
I would think it doesn't really lead to less grip, and perhaps even to a better grip (Like resin on a handball perhaps; sticky, messy, but almost glueing the ball to your hand)
I have had the 85 since 2012, but I actually thought this part was made of metal(It hasn't started 'melting' on mine ...yet)
I made the bad mistake, once, of buying a "leather blend" sofa. Within two years it started blistering and peeling badly. The furniture store told me, "Certain brands of cheap shampoos and conditioners will cause this issue."
It was the "cheap" shot that really hurt me.
Thank goodness, my 1.2's rubber seems like new, as if it never saw much action.
