Grips are clearly as personal as saddles!OURY grips are probably the most uncomfortable I've ever tried and I found that very early ones tend to not fit well on all my bars.
Definitely personal, I could never get on with those early rubber grips, particularly the ones with indentations and texture. Prefer foam grips for a more retro look but I honestly see no reason to pick grips I wouldn't ride, unless it's just a show bike.Grips are clearly as personal as saddles!
I love the older style oury grips, comfy and look the biz imho. Not too keen on the newer lizard skin version though, and it looks like the older ones are no longer available
Lock ons ugly unless colour coded or anoJust got some ritchey grips on the bay for cheap, they look awesome. Will be happy to get those.
Grips are a very touchy subject and you need to get it just right so you can just go…
Mmwa
On some of the crazy bikes that looks like it’s been through anodised rain, clear grips look good, or if you go Rasta with green yellow and red then that would look good as well, especially with colour coded gripshifts.
Foam grips do disintegrate and it’s annoying when they do, but if your a rich weight weenie those will do brilliantly.
Slip on grips are a massive pain, to get on and off. Also on my bike has been through some rain and gone under the rubbers and is moving freely grip go brumm brumm.
I like the older style solid grips, like on the first gen saracens, they’re very ergo.
Lock on doesn’t go anywhere, but bolts are ugly unless they’re anodised colour coded.
Plus you’ve got the problem of the collars not matching your bar ends.
Porcipaws are nice as you can cut them to shape to use grip shifts.
Yetis I’m running on my cannondale, very nice although a night in bleach still hasn’t removed some of the mould
That’s my verdict.
