Krisboats Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 ODI Longnecks for me. They're just so nice that i can't bring myself to try anything else and they last for absolutely ages as well. I've got a pair of those lizard skin lock on grips on my jump bike and they are very fat i would never use them on a trials bike. I've also had the ODI Ruffians and they were terrible grips. They were the fastest wearing grips i've ever had and before they'd completely worn down they became sticky and left black gunk on everything... they were so sticky you could push the palm of you hand onto them and lift the front wheel without holding onto the bars.

Camster911 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Lol, i just use cheapest rubber ones i can find , because normally its cheap soft rubber that feels nice. Who cares if you have to replace them a little more often , they will be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinksy Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I find that grips without writing on them work really well and keep the old hands blister free. I use O2 grips and if you can get hold of them they are great. Mine only cost me £3.99 from my local bike shop in my village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I've been using monty foams for about 2 months now or so. I think they are great but without bar ends or if your particularly careless with your bike they would tear easily.I love the feel they give too, I jumped on a mates bike today with rubber grips and they felt huge and weird.....

C_T_C monty Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 The best grips i've had so far are my current ones, being gusset bastards. Comfy and come in funky colours Hi,I'm running some gusset bastards (green), and i fitted them about 2 weeks ago and i'm finding them really tough on the hands. Do they feel nicer as they wear down?Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty boi Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 clubroost grips are ok they just wear down quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissis Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 i think dmr zipgrips are exseeding good as once they are on you are not getting them off espeisly if you put the zip ties around them, also they come in a range of colours and are very comfy and you get tremenous grip with gloves or bare hands.

PaShLeY Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I use Yeti grips, they are quite thick and most trials guys use thinner/foam grips but when i tried em i couldnt get used to them, suppose stick with what you know eh?i may try slimmer grips when i buy some wiiiiiiide bars,joN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 My Grips.. I've just putted them on.. I'm just waiting for a new day with some new riding! Whatever you do dont buy them I just threw mine in the bin they were like solid plastic and killed your hands. Theyve also wrecked my 661 gloves. Just replaced them with some Lizard Skins MOAB's like it had before. Mucho better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.McMillan Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) i am using Race Face Good n Evil Grips, they are the softest grips i have ever used and if you land abit hard on the front wheel they do absorb a good amount of shock, £9.99 from wiggle, available in black or black/red, also they are quite thick so they are going to last a good amount of time, i have stopped wearing my gloves because they are soo comfy Edited May 16, 2006 by speedyjustice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXsteri Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Never seen those before, they look just like the Yeti Hardcores i used to run back in the day Now i run Ritchey foams, they are very comfortable but can tear easy so i go through quite a few pairs!

Theyve also wrecked my 661 gloves. Just replaced them with some Lizard Skins MOAB's like it had before. Mucho better.Odd, i've used 2 pairs of clear Try-All grips on the trot, and i love them. I always use gloves (Troy Lee and Specialized) and have found them great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
