Greetings Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yep, you need Trialtech foam grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Trialtech Foams. If you decide to go for some, when you get them scrub the inside of the grip out with a pan scourer, (the green thin flat ones), and hot soapy water. Just roll it up, work it inside the grip then twist it whilst squashing the grip onto it in different places, to make sure you get it all scrubbed on the inside. This is because when the transfers are put onto the grip, the releasing agent liquid stuff leaves a waxy deposit inside the grip, so they rarely stick to the bar properly.

I bought hairspray for 99p slid on, stuck tight. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Much harder to get off though, and when I've done it in the past, as soon as the hairspray gets wet, it basically turns to lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Tried harrys trialtech foams yesterday and they feel soo nice compared to my hard rubber echo ones. Deffo going to be investing in some soon. Look really tough too for foamys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Onza default grips are really bad. I think I had some Viz ones from Trials-UK. They where still rubber, but a lot more bearable, especially with gloves. I'll have to try these foams for my self, when I get a new bike.

modifiedridah2k9 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 They are very grippy grips, these foam ones. And great for the summer so they dont melt, best grips ive ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stya_bear Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I have been completely destroying my DMR grips and I fancy some foam grips. Trialtech ones feel and ride great, I have tried my friends out and no complaints from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modifiedridah2k9 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Rubber grips dont melt Well they don't like start dripping melt, but like any rubber they go softer and rip easier, like tyres when its real hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 To be fair I think rubber grips are better. I had a choice of all the foam grips Tartybikes had on offer, but instead I finally went with the Porcipaw grips. They're rubber but very thin, and at a decent length. I much prefer the feel and look of them to the standard Echo/Trialtech/Koxx rebranded rubber grips which I've used for years and swore by. http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirt jumper jake Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Monty foams are the only ones ive had and they were useless, but rubbers give me callices so ima buy some trial techs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anusthegreat Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I used to quit trials for like three years and start riding again this April. Got some Onza mod from Tarty <3 with those horrible stock grips. Even if I also ordered a pair of decent gloves from 'em, they didn't rly help to avoid corns appearing all over my hands. Switch to some Ritchey foam grips in a week, which were really thick, and I loved 'em. But since I got some parts upgraded last week, Trialtech foam ones, yeah <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
