fyfey Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Do you wear gloves when riding? It helps alot with stopping blisters. I heard foam grips are good if you don't wear gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I ripped foam grips apart in one ride i just use Fuji grips there great with or without gloves or echo rubbers are decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke-O Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I use dmr grips at the moment there ok, echo and viz grips are good and there cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzy Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 If you find your hands are hurting from your grips, try using a soft compound grip which will be more comfortable, however it will probaly wear down quicker.TartyBikes soft compound rafflegrips are a good budget option.

Alex Dark Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I use some free foam grips at the moment and love them...the best rubber grips ive ever used are some £1 pro-grip ones.To stop blisters, use some gloves and get some medium compund grips...
