Monty Foam Grips... Yes/no?!

halfords foam grip stuff is truly aweful! they are so fat and so soft when you hold them they squash and you can feel the actual bar....I would seriously rather not have grips than those!

My grips of choice are rockman fats, lovley.

Can you tell the difference between the Monty/Atomz/Try-All grips (27mm) and the Rockman Thicks (28mm)?

Any reason why you prefere the Rockmans over Monty/Atomz/Try-Alls?

Totally agree. My vote is for Ritchey WCS Foam. (Y)

yeah, theres a slight difference.

The montys are sliiightly thinner and the foam is less dense (means it rips easier) the atoms grips are uuber thin, thinner than montys (same as rockman thins) if you like thin grips and max bar feel then the atomz are pretty sweet, they are fairly dense material too. The rockman fats are identical to try-all grips although I feel they could be slightly dencer as mine dont seem to rip as much as try-alls did.

I used Monty foams for a little while a few years ago. They were ok and a nice change from having thick grips, but they ended up hurting my hands a little from having to wrap a lot of finger around the bar.

Having said that, I'd buy they again for a change.

I've been using using Ritchey WCS Foam Truegrips for a couple of years now and nothing beats them :P

I use to use Ritchey wcs, but they are well overpriced. You can't realise how good the halfords foamies are until they've bedded in (when they aren't so massive). They're so cheap an you can easily make like 4 pairs with the amount of foam they give you.
