Michael Hardman Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ayone know of any grips that are super thin, yet grippy. I have small hands and used ruffian lock on but i keep breaking those and there expensive to replace so some normal slide on glue down with hair spray grips would be nice.

Janson Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ruffian non lock on? Works a charm for me. Soyo grips are quite expensive, but even thinner. Can't be ridden gloveless. The monty/tryall rubber grips are thin aswell, but don't last very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisa Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Renthal grips are nice and thin, used them for ages and will be going back to them very soon as my lockons are shite, keep getting throttle grip and no more clamping strength from them on my try alls.

Wayne-king Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ritchey foam grips are very very good, but might me a bit too thick (but they do last for ages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Koxx grips are suprisingly thin... grippy, fairly soft, look pretty good and most importantly cheap. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ritchey foam grips are very very good, but might me a bit too thick (but they do last for ages) ← theyre really thick, but comfy. dmr zip grips?- fairly thin, soft, and last for ages. mine have been going for about 6 months, still wth lots of grip :P renthal grips- soft, fairly thin, wear rate? normal ruffians? monty foam grips?- soft, uber thin, dont wear that quick :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Could try Roadie Cork stuff - you just wrap it around the bars. Ask in an LBS, or look on CRC or Ribble. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 But compared to Ruffians, every grip I've tried (incl. ritchey foam) is shit. Ruffians are THE grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
club_card Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 You could try some of that tape stuff that they use on road bikes that would be thin and cheap :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Arnold Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 ive used specialized durangos and koxx clear grips, they are both thin and very grippy, but the koxx ones are a biatch to get on :D :P the durangos are more squdgy and i would advise them :D Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Monty foams are super thin, I really liked mine. Changed to some random Insane grips (24seven mod-style grips), and they're dying rapidly. Last set of Monty's lasted me a year and a half and didn't tear, they'd just worn thin 'n' hard. Well worth a look for £4-5? Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ruffians are THE grip . . . . . . . for you :lol: Monty Foams are crazy thin, and crazy cheap, and easy to get hold of, give them a try :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH!P Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Monty Foams! I always use them through the summer as that's when I tend to ride with no gloves, then through the winter Monty rubber grips with gloves. Works a charm. But yea, Monty foams are mint and despite what some say can lost a long time, if you take care of them. I use Hope Grip Doctor's and it stops them tearing at the end :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colly Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 hebo grips £6 super thin, super sticky, and last long. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Make Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi guys, I have quite big hands (gloves 11/XL) and I wan't some grips with a bit thicker diameter but not too soft and spongy. I get terrible ache to my fingers if I use too thin grips. Any recomendations(sp?), please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brant@on-one Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 We're doing Soyo Grips now. £10 Red, Black or White. Enough for 2 bikes I'd have thought. http://www.suzue.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 dmr zip grips?- fairly thin, soft, and last for ages. mine have been going for about 6 months, still wth lots of grip :D ← Really? i had some for about a month and a half and they were knackered, i wouldnt recommend them. Ive just got some uber soft planet x mx style grips for the mo, softest ive ever had. I do like the look of the renthals though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
