weebryan Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Have used try-all rubber the last few years and tried foam rockman and halfords and didnt like them so was thinking bar tape is a nice in between Question is what one, I have never used any, and any advice on fitting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza pro series guy Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 No, just no. Why does it matter if Halfords dont like foam grips?! Its your bike so you do what you like with it surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think he means he has tried both the Rockman and the Halfords foam grips and disliked both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 No, just no. Why does it matter if Halfords dont like foam grips?! Its your bike so you do what you like with it surely? Oh dear.

Jake Beach Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) No, just no. Why does it matter if Halfords dont like foam grips?! Its your bike so you do what you like with it surely? I think what he means is he has tried halfords foams and did not like them, not halfords did not like them.

SamKidney Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Buy some trialtech foams Ive had mine a good while now, and they're easily the best grips Ive used. No signs of wear, just as grippy in the wet, and they aren't as harsh on your hands. Come in two sizes too, so choose which you prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 bar tape is actually pretty good, i bought some from decathlon for like £6, enough for 2 bars (or 4 grips) and it was prety comfy, rode gloveless with it quite happily to... try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have used fizik bar tape and bonty stuff on my fixie instead of normal grips. the bonty stuff is very thin and quite unforgiving the fizik tape was a bit dearer but was slightly thicker and foamy which when wrapped tightly is very comfortable. Ill see if i have the off cuts for you to try ill chuck them at Ross for you. Stay away from the kinda leather effect stuff its slippy when sweaty.
