Any reason why you prefere the Rockmans over Monty/Atomz/Try-Alls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 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.

Wet Banana Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Gibson Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Tarty raffel ones are good. SoftHalfords foam grips are very comfy. shape to your hand after a few hours.I have ODI grips at the min, there a bit worn and split but they are pretty comfy.

ConnorPowell Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Wiggle is where its at with the ritchey wcs grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 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.
