Ritchey WCS are circa 45g, what’s lighter and easily available?

Re:

Not lighter, but I found ESI chunky more durable and comfy:

A few places in UK have them, inc. ebay

Nothing that I found, assuming you're trying to stay retro?

Yeah, like above, if you want retro and available then the ritchey foam grips are hard to beat.

There are lighter/thinner retro grips but cant get them new.

Ritchey also made a lighter version of that grip, I think and was the WCS Ergo and 36g.

KCNC are my modern choice for light grips.

Re:

Superstar do some foam grips, not sure of the weight though.

I picked up some aerozine foam lock on grips a while back that seem really light. I'll try to weigh them when I get a chance.

Re:

How about using roadie bar tape? I seem to remember doing that BITD in the pursuit of minimal weight. :shock:

Re:

Ritchey True grips in foam. More comfortable than WCS

TBH, you'll save more weight shaving your legs though mate
