Mark W Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 All the riders around here say they seem to be shit^lots. I tried them very briefly, but I didn't really like the feel, look or...well...anything about them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmowerman Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 What about these or these I've had the shadow conspiracy ones for a few months now and theyre brilliant! They do gradually slip down the bars but they are really soft comfy. I dont get hard skin anymore aswell :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil270183 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 if you fit them properly then they wont move, the only major downfall is they wear down in weeks an slip when gloveless and sweaty. if you dont mind buying new ones every month or so, and you wear gloves there mint.

Tom Booth Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Nice grips, when worn down to your hand shape they are comfy, but get very sweaty, and do wear out fast. best beis tohair spray them on and leave them over night, thell be stuck then :) But recently i moved away form them and got the ritchey wcs grips. Now thats THE ultimate in grip. (i know it isnt an answer to the question, just mear advice :blink:" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 If you're after a sorta Zip-Grip style grip, why not the ODI Longnecks? My brothers have lasted for 2 years, and are comfy as hell. They might not have green in them, but your hands are gonna be covering them anyway, you bike whore :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 They are the nastiest grips I've ever used. I bought some to replace my 18mth old longnecks a month exactly ago, they have worn out to the pink under layer in places, all the file patten has gone, they hurt my palms to the extent that they still hurt when I'm not even riding, and there are useless in anything above 10deg where you may sweat, or in any rain, there also pretty fat. AVOID. Agreed with Mark, Longnecks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 absolutely luscious, girppy, never slipped (with a bit of spray paint for extra hold) feel great, not too thick, not too thin. and they wear into the shape of your hand. no gloves needed.

011001000110010101110010 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 There nice, but as with most grips when you get sweaty hands they get a little slippery. Also the Zip Ties provided don't fit in the space where they are meant to go... Get the ones without the flanges other wise you will have embarrassing blisters on your thumbs.
