GTF Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Dosent matter which foam grips you get, they are all the same.You can get them in almost every normal bikestore.Ive had mine for about.. hmm.. 2 months now, and there is still much left of them.Or you can just get some foam bar tape, also works nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gundam Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 try all rubber grips- really thin for losads of control, they have a pretty average wear rate but are super comfy with or without gloves, i recomend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr8grumble Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 foam grips are the way forward. not monty foams or tryall, go to your local halfords and buy some foam grips that go on racer bikes....slightly thicker, your hands mold to them after a few rides and you get 4 grips at the price of £5, also the grips are for racer bikes therefore they are long.... this means you can cut them in half and use one grip as a pair.... meaning youve bought 4pairs of grips for £5 !i hope this helps pal..... i think there great and last me 2months or so, thats a single grip, i have 3 more! graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxi Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 areet mate i would recomend you with massi grips the ones with 1 ended lockons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtrials Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 i would go for Halfords foam grips, they are really long as they are ment for racers, you get 2 sets of extra long grips for a fiver, they are big enough to cut in half, which will leave you with 4 set's of really comfey foam grips. (for a five sheet), they are well worth it, they dont last forever but, once they start to wear, on the inside of your hand between your thum and forfinger, just put a strip of electrical tape over and they will not ware anymore, oh and you do have 4 pairs so what the hey!
