Tom Canham Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) Hey, Im looking into getting some comfier grips, because my rubber ones keep hurting/ giving me blisters. I have been looking at the trialtech foams. Are they any good? Are they grippy? Are they comfy? Any advice would be great thanks. Tom EDIT: Sorry i just realised i put this in bike pictures. Sory guys Edited July 25, 2010 by papman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Only tried them on other people's bikes, but I always find them really fat. Halfords grips for me - you get four tubes for £5, and each tube gets cut in half to make a pair of grips. Some halfords stock the old ones still, but the Loughborough one has these new ones. They're a bit thicker and harder, but after a few rides they mould to your hands and start to thin down a bit. In my experience, I've found them the comfiest and grippiest, not to mention cheapest On the downside, the old ones rip, if you get them. The new compound seems better for not ripping however.

anusthegreat Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Here you go: I have just made a few photos of my foam grips by Trialtech. As far as you can see, they're pretty thin but comfortable, I love them <3 If you're interested, I usualy wear gloves, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new compound seems better for not ripping however. the clark ones. they feel nicer, the halfords own ones (grey and yellow packed ones) are crap, way too thick and way too soft, last about 2 weeks if that. Trials tech, last forever, had mine on my bike for well over a year, changed them had them on and off bars. no reason to buy anyothers, Pop em on with a wee bit of hair spray...... stickes em tight.
