Alex-Mitchinson Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Try-all and Monty foams are good if your looking to save weight but still have ok grips.Any of the rubber grips are fine, but the best grips I've had are Try-all loc on.

TrialsGilly Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 It's all personal choice mate. Personally I love the tarty £3.00 soft grips, cant go wrong!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgzGU! Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 hi there, Well since we are going into summer now rubber grips will make your hans slip so probably best with try all foam grips or even if you don't want to pay that much then you can get pretty good halfords foam grips and you get 6 in a pack.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_jsy Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 dk iron cross grips, nice and comfy on your hands and the bar ends stop the grip slipping all over your bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Pah ive used loads and loads of grips. Just get what you fancy, foam grips are good and give you a good bar feeling but wear quickly. Im runing some random rubber grips, just let them wear in and fit your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I used 24seven grips for a while, but dont sell them anymore So heres a good link for foam grips and stuffhttp://www.cleanbikes.co.uk/index-spares.htm#Grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Woodley Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I use Echo rubber grips, and they're perfect...on cold days.When it's absolutely baking, foam grips are the way to go. Cable tie them to your bars so they don't slide and you wont have a problem.Alternatively, you could just wear gloves rather than changing grips, but that's what I've found works.You could pick up a cheap pair of each off tarty for next to nothing.

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Try all lock on grips. Best grips ive ever had! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 lockon grips are good. especially in the wet, although they can score your bars. and if your really hardcore you can snap them i'm running tarty raffle grips. i like them although there shit to fit on. white spirit helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-echo team Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi, i havent been riding long so cant tell you what grips are good but.. i have bought some echo ones and they are rubbish! they do not last very long at all they are just crumbling and become really slippery.

Echo-Scott Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Tarty raffle grips are great. Nice and cheap and very comfy once they have worn down. Don't get a set of black try-all grips though, they might aswell be made of stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leistonbmx Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I used the tartbikes soft grips. £3They were on my old trials bike for a while, then i put them onto my micro scooter(hate on me i know most will).I used them for roughly 6 months and they were still in reasonably good condition.

Muel Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 white spirit + inside of grip = win..I tried that, and petrol. No win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I tried that, and petrol. No win.I know a guy that put a bit of tar on the bars and once the grips were on they wouldn't budge. Don't know if this will work in the wet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 hairspray/spray paint works.i love raffle grips and atm im using roadie tape, love it, tis really thin though, so some might not.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Dont put anything under the bar! with foam grips use loads of hairspray then clean them off when there stuck on. But for rubber grips, just bash'em on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
