Mark W Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 What material are the Soyo's made of? Do they need to be applied in any special way or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*OnzaMike* Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) Not sure if this has been posted, but i "think" the viz grips feel quite thin, maybe give them a try? Theyre grippy and go on and off the bar nice and easy too. Edited February 8, 2005 by *OnzaMike* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 ODI Long Necks. You can get them in both lock on and not. Amazing grips, I hadn't noticed any wear in them after 2 years. Then my bike got nicked. They would have easily lasted me 5 years if not more. Really comfy whilst being long and slim. :P :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricalum Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 monty foams ?? cheap to replace ← Yep, this is what i have, they are pritty good but I ride with gloves and aparently this helps grip even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backgren Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) soyo B) use gloves or your hands will hurt really badly. they do even with gloves :) soyo's last ages too. if you manage to break 'em, just put on some super glue :) if you want something a tiny bit thicker with even rougher surface go with Evertop :P ahh, forgot. ive got 3 or 4 never used pairs which I could sell cheaper than "on-one", interested?

We've also got Izumi chains, which you guys might like. Super super strong, with a sort of mini nut-and-bolt joining pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 This special joining pin, does it mean that breaking your chain won't affect it's strength in any way at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might suffer from the threads loosening but nothing thread lock wont sort i suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that some bashring/sprocket combinations won't take that chain because It looks bit wide from that side where the head of the bolt is. But I think that the bolt is only on one side so fitting it another way around would solve this chainring clearing issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Peters Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 On a related note if your lockon grips start to get a little play in them ie "Throttle Grip" then simply undo one clamp bolt till the clamp can move, twist until there is zero play left and do up the clamp, simple.

rhythm_101 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 another trick to fitting grips: see if you can get hold of some pure alcahol (ethenol?) pour it down the grip, slide it onto the bar, then get an adaptor for inflating footballs (the needlele thingy) attatch it to your pump (an air line works best, but not everyone has acccess to those (Y) ) stick the needle in between the grip and bar, then just blow away untill the grip stops twisting- NOTE: this has works on every grip i've fitted!!!! so try it :- (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to file some of metal away so they clamp more but the 'couldn't be arsed' syndrome kicked in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials tom_s Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I use to have these grips on my last monty 221 x-lite. i dont know what they were...remember the grip had "america usa" on them... and the 1st pair had loads of stars on ..they second pair lots of lil triangles. the grip came in two layers...a real thin red rubber...with a heavy duty black rubber over top..the company logo etc was cut out so the letters came through as red etc. they looked kinda like old skool bmx grips...with this round circle bit seperating you thumb from the bars and brake lever bit..if you get me!! hard to explain really. if ANYONE knows what grips they are..or where i could find a pair..please let me know asap. because i looked them to bits and they were probably my perfect grip!! thanks, Tom.
