trials mad andy Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I have some standered onza grips at the moment and they have worn out. Now i have to buy some new grips and i do not know which ones are better. I've been told that the Monty and Try-all foam grips are the best without gloves and i ride without gloves also. So i would much appreciate any opinions that you have on which grips I should buy. Thank you in advance. Trials Mad Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoNnY__Mc Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Foam grips just dont last long enough for me Try these oneshttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2107http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=79http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=80and also... if you find your get annoyed when your grips start to slip down the barshttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=556Alternatively buy some odi lockons or go to halfords and buy the rubber grips they sell (thats what i use along with some grip stops) and I love it or use the search...

El Cristoff Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 halfords grips for the win, everytime (the one with flames on them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis p Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 foam grips are pritty good grips but they dont last very long and also they get very slippy. i am using the try-all rubber grips, i dont ride with gloves and i find them very comfy to ride with, and also very good for grip.

whostheman_121 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I have the Try-All grips: very grippy without gloves and they stay in place. Although they are good grips, the only downfall is that they rip your hands up without gloves when they are new but the odd blister won't hurt. You buy grips for grip obviously which these offer. Once they wear down, they are very comfy on your hands while still giving excellent grip. They also come in loads of colours to match the theme of your bike.

Rusevelt Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 ODI Lock-On grips (Ruffian type). enough said. look out for the limited red colour if they are floating around any bike shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fessey Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 hi, i used to run the standard onza grips aswel and found that they had worn down very quickly, i then also got recomended to the try-all foam grips as i dont ride using gloves.Since then i have never looked back the try-all grips are very comfy aswel as having a long life span. Thats just my opinion anyway. Hope this helped.Fessey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Foam grips are better for the hands. I've got small hands and these are the best I can get. The only problem is they don't last more than 3 or 4 rides without splitting.Rubber ones are thicker and grippier, the Tryall ones will tear your hands up though. My hands were fine till I got these and my gloves had alot of padding. They last much longer though.Go foam they're so much nicer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
