 Posted: Sat May 21, 2011 6:21 pm Post subject: What type of grips do you use ? |
  |
|
I was thinking of using some gel grips , I've got some on my mountain bike that are very good.
Thought it might take some of the vibration out of the bars.

Ouri grips are the best I reckon. Like pillows for your hands got the last few pairs from my push bike shop about $18 a pair all sorts of colours even glow in the dark.

Try any push bike or mountain bike shop Mat.
I run Oury's too.
They don't suit smaller hands though, MrsB runs Spider grips.

| Pro taper pillow tops, used heaps of different types but the pillow tops are great, comfy grip that doesn't wear too quickly. They prevent blisters reasonably well too. |

More likely that you dont grip as hard anymore due to fear or the change in diameter of your grips has reduced the arm pump than the brand of grip. I like the ouri's cos they are comfy cheap and long wearing. I tried the Pro taper pillow tops and they wore out in no time at all. Its all a personal thing i hated the factory grips some people love them.

Nah , No thermals.,,, but the heated grips work well in the freezing cold, will be back in the high country in a few weeks , and hell they are good , they even dry out wet gloves. so laugh one and all , i used to be called soft when i said i had power steering ,, but hey how many people now like it,,, And the way i look at it if i am more comfortable riding and im warm ,, hell i will stay riding longer , unlike the ones that want to stand in front of the fire to thor out , lol

Iv'e tried a few brands now and find wearing Underwares with MX gloves is a better option. Pro Grip are pretty good though.

I have gone back to Oury after trying a few different brands. Anaconda stock them, I think they're a National chain.

I finished up getting some Jet Black grips , Very similar feel to the Oury's
but these have an anodised alloy locking ring either end to hold them on to the bars.
I thought for $20 I'd give them a try.
