Rob Thomson Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well it's super humid and hot out here so I get soaking with sweat within about 10 mintues so my hands feel like they;re going to slip off of my grips constantly and i get rather scared to say the least... I need some grips that absorb sweat quite well so this doesn't happen...Would going foam-styleee be the solution?? Any ideas? Cheers muchly...

Siders77 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I changed from rubber grips to foams for the exact same reason as you. Yes, they do help LOADS. I got some cheapy £4 ones from my LBS and I love 'em. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_Porter Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 foam grips rule, they just rip way to easy. ritchey are the only ones though really, if you go for cheaper ones such as the halfords ones then they tend to go wank, the foam goes like cardboard and gets compressed and goes horrid......BOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swize Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 link I ride these ritchley grips bare handed, there are ok 1000 times better than rubber grips but if its that hot and your sweating that much then they do get wet and become slippy, so you have to squeeze them out and let them dry for a few mins. I say buy these grips see what there like personal i think there assume! BUT make sure you get some nice big bar ends that cover the edge of the grips other wise you will have trouble with them tearing!TheasOr something similar to them i just use some plastic ones but the ones they give you just aren't big enoufgh. And if you still have a problem with sweat with them wear gloves ??? Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
