Whiteboy Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 ok well i was wondering if the lock on version of these grips are fatter than the normal grips. as they seem like real nice grips just a bit beefy. so are they or are they the same. also is it exacly the smae material used in the lock on ones? or diffrent compound etc. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 If I could, I'd hunt down the "designer"* of the ODI Rogues and beat him senseless with his own product. They are the most uncomfortable, stupidly thick grips I've ever used. However, the Lock-on version shouldn't be thicker, 'cos they take out the necessary amount of the soft innery bit, and replace it with a rock 'ard plastic bit, which forms the collar of the grip. But yeah, thin grips dominate. Go for the Monty Foams (cleanbikes.co.uk), or the Renthal (I *think* NSE do them) or Azonic/O'Neal (most Azonic retaillers) style grips. Swish :unsure: Mark *I say "designer", but to be honest, I think I could've made a better grip by shitting on some bars and making a mould of it...

Pork Pie Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Ritchey WCS Truegrip Foam grips are the nicest grips I've used by far. From Wiggle, £7.99. Truely ace, So comfy, Ride Gloveless with no pain, Ride for ages without sore hands, Truely ace, I'll never go back. WCS Ritchey for trial grip comfort power.
