forteh Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Get some foams, use black spray paint to stick them on and jobs a good un, no sweaty hands slipping, comfy and cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshlyd1 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have tried some foams recently whats the difference between t-t foam and monty ( thickness etc ) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Think Monty ones are softer and thinner. Seriously, don't get foamies. They're shit. Get some rubber ones. Tarty standard ones are goood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshlyd1 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ben i have the standard tarty ones i might get a pair of thin sunline lock ons cuz they are well nice but not good on sweaty hands Anyone reccomend any good lock-ons i do not have a budget ???

Ben John-Hynes Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 If you don't like the loss of grip when you sweat, but want rubber grips. You'll need gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
::CH!P:: Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Go to Halfords... they have packs of 4 or 5 really long foam grips. £5 per pack. Cut one long grip in half and you have 2 grips. Really comfortable to ride with (better than Monty foam grips etc) and works out dirt cheap.

Tom Dunwoody Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi my names tom , i have been riding trials for about 2 months and I also own a jump bike. My jump bike has dk grips on it so I would say that you go with dk grips because your hands really stick to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakey boi Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Ide say foam grips they dont slip when sweaty and their cheep lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vongar_kuu Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I bought some Raceface rubber ones off CRC a while back but got a bit sick of the red so i bought some of the White Echo Rubbers of Tarty. Really impressed with them so far. Nice and thin as well. Think they are about 6 quid as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Moss Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Foam grips are top. If they moove or slip on the bar put tape on the bars then put the grips on, after that roll the grips back and breath on the tape (so its moist) and finally roll the grips back and try it out. If you get what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
