Mark W Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yoshida Champ grips. They're keirin (read: fixed wheel bike) grips. 2mm thick, pretty long, but pretty hard. They last me about 9 months, whereas previously I'd go through grips in about 3-4 weeks. They're £15, but they last 9 times longer than the normal £5-8 grips used to last me, so work out as being economical over time. Buy some! They come in every colour you can conceive, even traslucent ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Trialtech Foams, they last for ages, and won't move on the bar if you put them on right.EDIT: To get them to stick, get a pan scourer, make it wet with hot water, stick a load of washing up liquid on it and roll it up, then twist it inside the grip, then squeeze the sides of the grip onto it tighter and turn it to scurb the insides. Then put them on with a pump to expand them and let them slide on. Edited August 23, 2009 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdmackay Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 If your looking for grips that'll never wear... get Echo Rubber Clears. Has to be the clear compound though. They are super hard.Only problem is... You'll need to get new hands after a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 ODI Longnecks... With you.Awesome grips, had a set last 3 years. Ribbed grips, so a medium compound can be used but the grips still feel quite squishy because of the ribs collapsing when you grip them. Some of your sweat can drain into the ribs aswell.

duncan_echo26 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Tarty Bikes grips are my favourite They come with bar end plugs too They are also quite cheap and I have had them on my bike for a while and they don't seem to have worn too much.

indianatrials Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeh they are defo the best, but they do wear! Had mine 3 weeks i think and the diamonds on one spot are almost gone, they feel better than ever.If your looking for grips that'll never wear... get Echo Rubber Clears. Has to be the clear compound though. They are super hard.Only problem is... You'll need to get new hands after a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
