the judge Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I haven't tried that many grips, but my dmr zip grips are extremely comfy. They're the only ones I've tried up to now that I can ride without gloves with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Boy Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Echo or Try-All ones, fiver from selectbikes.com there exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_R Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 You could knip down to Halfords and purchase some of their "Foam Grips". You get 4 roles which you cut down to size making that 8 grips. £5 you can't go wrong and seem to last a fair amount of time. Also feel really comfy and dont leave your hands feeling scabby.

Jared Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I am using odi ruffian lock-ons and there great.They have now gone down to the plastic as ive used them loads but all i need to do is buy some replacements which cost about £7.You cant fall off they are very comfy, look good and last ages.I wouldnt mind getting some gusset b*****d grips next the only reason being is that they come in pink.

King C Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) If you like thick grips I'd say DMR zip grips or the onza ones. If you like thin grips I would try foam grips or Club Roost Spiral grips. Edited April 3, 2006 by kcchan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Monty foam grips. Out of all the things on my bike, that's the thing i'm most happy with. They're perfect IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 ODI Ruffians. Oh yes. 3 weeks, then I wore through to the middle of the lock-on's core. Same deal with the non-lock-ons. Monty foam grips. Out of all the things on my bike, that's the thing i'm most happy with. They're perfect IMO. 3 hours, then I wore through to my bar.Brahma grips are awesome, especially at 2 pairs for £5 or whatever they are. They wear out in about a month for me, which is about a month longer than most other grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Go to Halfords, ask what the cheapest rubber grips they do are, buy them, ride with them, smile. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 3 hours, then I wore through to my bar.Well you must have cheesegrater hands then, becuase mine have lasted ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well you must have cheesegrater hands then, Ask your Mum My first pair lasted a year. My second pair lasted 3 hours. Similarly, my first X-Hydra pads lasted a year, the second pair lasted about 2 hours.Maybe Monty have just divided the durability of their products by 1000 or something?
