It's as simple as thatFor me at the moment it is quicker to find out on trials forum as i can not ride my bike for a while due to a bad back.

AdamR28 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I prefer Trialtech grips without gloves. They are grippy and comfy without gloves, and soak up sweat well too. A tip - if they start to get less grippy in time, wash them! This brings out all the old manky bits of skin and dirt, making them feel like new again.Personally I find gloves make my hands hurt more as they bunch up and cause pressure points on my palms. I also don't like the lack of 'feel' they give on both the brakes and the bars...Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also try some 2008 or 2009 661 gloves iv got some comps in extra large and they are so comfortable because they are a tiny bit small for me.

t-bird tom Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Without you dont need gloves for foam grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike137 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I use Rockman thick foam grips, although they are more comfortable without gloves, i still wear them as i would rather have something between my hands and the floor when i fall off.

ginger allen echo Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Trialtech foams are my favourite grips. I had Echo rubber grips for about half a year and when your hands start to get sweaty there is no grip at all.As adam said, foams soak up all the sweat and are still grippy. Iv'e noticed that when it's cold the grips dont tend to lose the heat from your hands as fast as rubber grips do.Which is a plus Oofft I think that Mike Dyson is trying to outsmart Mr Tart Ginger Allen Edited February 24, 2009 by ginger allen echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
