Mat Smith!! Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Foam, but nothing can really stop your hands getting sweaty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gussie Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Mr macaskill was using race face diabolus lock on i think.They had race face written on them and had some lines on the other sections. And they were awesome. It was like at least 20 degrees out too. And people were riding it continuously so it was pretty sweaty too. Im getting them for my next grips.

Dan6061 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I ride them £3 tarty raffle grips on all 3 of my bikes becase they are cheap and if my hands get sweaty i put my gloves on.God I hated those grips when I had some. I had the soft ones, and I just couldn't grip them! Slightest drop of sweat and the bike would just shoot away from me. Not fun when riding on rocks...I moved onto the Halfords foams after that, and they're muuuuch better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 ODI Longneck are great... lock ons or normal ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 ODI Longneck are great... lock ons or normal ones.Yer i agree, nice and comfortable, grippy and let air get around your hand so you dont sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey vajda Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 not sure what the grips are called... i know they are by axiom and they are best ive ever had... had 2 pairs, -they are lock ons! -good in hot (my hands sweat freakishly too and they are good for mee)-look quite streety, love them,-dont slide around on your bars! dunno if you can make it out but thats them on my bike haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Roady tape.feels like a hard foam grip, but lasts longer, feels nicer and works out cheaper!I used to use the halford foam grips, but after a single long ride the foamies feel disgusting, and my hands really hurt around the calaces(how the ever hell you spell it).

bendy Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm a big fan of the Halfords foams they took my hands a little while to get used to but there nice and thin grippy don't slide and they soak up sweat pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mr macaskill was using race face diabolus lock on i think.They had race face written on them and had some lines on the other sections. And they were awesome. It was like at least 20 degrees out too. And people were riding it continuously so it was pretty sweaty too. Im getting them for my next grips.I wouldn't reccomend buying raceface diabolus grips. They don't last very long atall from my experience. Me and my mate got a pair each a while ago and we both needed new grips no longer than 2 months later. If you want lock-on grips I suggest you have a look at the ODI ones.Back to the topic, try foam grips like other have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thing is with the Halfords foams, they're a bit hit and miss. Sometimes I've bought some that have been amazing, other ones have been way too squishy and just killed my hands... Just got to hope luck's on your side when you buy some!

His grips are awfull! imoODI Longneck are great... lock ons or normal ones.Thats the daddies. I wear gloves with them though. My hands sweat a lot.

Wipe your hands on you t-shirt, shorts or beer towel if they get megasweaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gussie Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I thought they were totally girpy, like sticky almost. And they were falling apart but i dont really mind about grips falling apart as long as i dont slip. But if they aren't recomended then do not get them. Sorry about not actually helping with the topic and choice of grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
