stock trials the real sport Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 yeah i had odi yeti hardcores or something there extremely grippy but a little harsh on the hands. I now have dmr zip grips and there extremely comfy as well as looking good and being grippy :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly joe Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Foam grips are the way forward. they are extremely comfortable to ride with so you do not need to use gloves and also have a hell of a lot of grip, and surprisingly they actually last quite a while :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 i have odi longnecks on both my trials bike and my bmx and they are really good you can get them for around £10 or less and i think they come with plastic barends or you can get them with grips on the end as well :P odi longnecks :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Small hands? ..............You should check the `Try-All` Foam or Rubber grips from Tarty Bikes. 27mm diameter - £7 a pop!! SWEET! http://tartybikes.co.uk/products.php?product=grips I bought a set of each last week! Foam Grips - Comfy, very thin, never slip or twist on the bar, soft foam ensures a full/tight grip, lacking in that `taccy` feel of rubber though! :P :- Rubber Grips - Basic thin rubber `taccy` feel grip! Still great! :lol: Now where can I find some Toxin grips?? They look good to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneone Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Im using the try-all foams from tartybikes £7. next time im going to get the monty foams from cleanbikes there only £5 and there basicaly the same grip only cheaper, but dont be buying the foams for the brand name as it wears off in like 2 rides.

BeNNy Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 i use try-all foam grips. they're good :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Oliver Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Foam grips all the way, :P Iv'e tried others but foam much kinder to your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 i use race face good 'n' evil grips. really nice in my opinion and a good compound so they last quite a while yet dont hurt your hands. they are quite thick aswell.

Porkster Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I ride with ODI ruffian lock on grips. They never move once you lock them down and they are relatively thin in comparison with a lot of other grips (not as thin as the super thin tryall or other trials ones) I have heard they wear out rather quickly, but i havent noticed that much at all. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 renthals ar thinner, grippier and more hardwearing than ruffians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Meh dont worry too much about them i have standard Saracen 1s but i really like them because they have worn down close to the bar and feel like you holding the bar so you get a lot more controll, instead of feeling like you have to wrap your hands all the way rounhd if you get me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_ferret Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 i use roadie gel bar tape...... super comfy, no slippy grips, weather doesnt affect it you choose width, and good for little hands imo no other choice! give it a go! oggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Swindlehurst Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 monty foam grips are thin and a good for small hands they last long if u dont rip them and also they dont slip in wet weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypro1 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 i use bar wrap off a racing bike there great in wet and dry they dont slip if you get the wrap that have tape on the back of them try it out :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc Lovin Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Monty foams all the way :lol: I've got quite small hand and they are great, just get some decent barends so they don't rip, and if they do just put a bit of selotape on the grip where the rip is and they last for weeks longer.

MattB Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 i currently have rubber grips but i am switching to foam grips because you get a better feel and they are more kind to your hands. go to cleanbikes because they are cheaper than tartybikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Dmr zip-grips all the way, want to try foam grips though, i have heard a lot from these, mostly good... but dmr grips have to be the best grips ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I like and use the standard velo grips, the ones which koxx call koxx grips, echo call echo grips ect. Only 5 pounds, last along time, very grippy and are comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the judge Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 i've got dmr zip grips and they're really comfy, they're the only grips i've tried that i don't need gloves with (not tried foam grips yet though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deonn trials 55 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I use lizard skin lock on grips.They are the best I have ever used i`ve tried try all rubber grips ,monty foam grips,profile grips,and monty rubber grips.But they don`t beat the lizard skin lock on`s.They have a pretty soft compound so they don`t hurt your hands , they don`t wear down fast at all.They are lock ons so they don`t slide down your bars.You can buy them from www.evanscycles.com. Cheers Deonn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
