ODI ruffian lock ons are good!!!0

Other possibilites are a carbon bar and big volume front tyre.0

On my bmx, I have quite hard grips, but I run my front tyre at under 40psi, so theres some give in, and doesnt get pinch punctures0

I have Ergon grips on my On-One 29er. Perfect! Errr linky:

I think you'd be better of with a big tyre in the front. Grips will do little to benefit confort and a big front tyre doesn't affect rolling significantly.0

I have a set of these on my Marin, not only are they very light they are extremely comfortable to ride with. and dont worry they arent huge either they arent much bigger than the horrible skinny rubber grips that come on bikes.___________________________________________________________

A 2.3 tyre up front takes the edge off the bumps. Odi Rogue grips, takes the buzz out.
The rigids are going in the next few weeks, as its not comfortable going quickly. Espiecially when i race in the SITSIntense Socom
