Mark W Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 If you, like me, are a fan of your grips being as thin and solid as possible, then these bad boys are probably for you:Not only do they say "CHAMP" on them, but they also come in a range of thicknesses, including the pretty awesome 2mm option. Brick Lane Bikes do them, but I'm not sure what their mail-order policy is. However, On-One appear to do the mail-order version, so if you wanna give 'em a whirl, give 'em a buzz.

Sonny Clarke Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I prefer them thick mate If there thin won't they just get worn out much easier, or do they have a lovely feel to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 These are thinner I just prefer the feel of thinner grips. Just feels way more direct, more feel from your bike, I found it gave me less arm-pump, etc. Just all good, basically.They may wear out a tiny bit faster (although these are a pretty hard compound), but I find it's worth it just 'cos it makes my bike feel like unadulterated excellence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thin grips make my hands hurt.The thinnest I can stand are Tarty Griffles, and they are super soft as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I usually use thin foam grips, so might give these a whirl next time. I really love the feel on the grips that when you grip hard you can feel the bar... just feels way more controlled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I can tell they're designed for the BMX market, given that they come in 3 shades of pink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 why not just cut down a roadbike innertube and stretch it over the end of your bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I can tell they're designed for the BMX market, given that they come in 3 shades of pink! They're imported fixed-wheel track bike grips, from China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
