Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Hello, I have decided to set up a poll to see what Grip style is more popular, I though about this when having a discussion with a friend, I said I like rubber grips more than Foam and he likes foam grips more than Rubber. So now I am wondering what other members prefer. Edited December 20, 2009 by Mission Prodigy Trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) K, well, you got the poll type right.Rubber, foam ones squish too much. Edited December 20, 2009 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I rode with rubber grips on all my bikes, even before trials and since i started to use trial tech foams i would never use any other grips again lol.I find rubber grips rip your hands to pieces, foam are so friendly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I agree that Foam grips are more comfortable but Rubber grips sometimes last longer and have more grip when compared to Foam grips.I've had my foams on for 6 months, still got plenty left on them and are still pretty spongey.

Dr.scratchensniff Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I've currently got rubber grips on my bike but 2 guys I'm out riding with regularly have foams. Their grips feel soooo much nicer and as soon as I clear a chunk of my credit card bill I'll be changing.They just aren't as harsh on your hands...

that NBR dude Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I tend to find foam grips and the tape to be too thin, and can't get a comfortable grip on the bar.I've always found rubber grips more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyBazz (: Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Racing bike grips, the wrap around ones are the only grips I use, after having my hands shredded by rubber, and foam being too thin and wripping. And gathering sweat, which isn't nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsmax04 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 ive used rubbers for a while. Like them alot, but changed to foams (trial tech) and hated them for like the first week. They where just too thick for me. Now i love them. Got a set for my new bike but dont know weather to use them, or try some roadie tape.

alextheferret Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 This is exactly the poll I need to be seeing I think to find which is the best type of Grip, you need to really decide what is the most important factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Rubber and lock on.wurd, team lock-on grips ***... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilled trials Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 The most comphy grips i have used are 100% silicone from ESIGRIPS. They are really comfy and dont wear out. Bad points is the price of £15.99 and if you get 1 tear in them they tear all the way down as they are under alot of stress when put onto bars. Overwise always used rubbers.

aener Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Rubber, but I switch to foam in the mid-winter to keep my hands a bit warmer. (HATE gloves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 the usual methods seem to work for me...spray paint, hair spray ecthow old are your grips? some of the old ones were fractionally oversized and were a bit of a bitch to stick.
