I'm currently on the lookout for a new set on grips, as my konas are starting to wear out. Obviously ODI are a big consideration, but are there any others that stand out? discount links appreciated, i'm not exactly rolling in it :D

cheers

    Charge sponge grips.
    On wiggle for a tenner, couldn't really ask for more.

    They look nice, do you have some and how do they compare the the ODI?

    I've just switched from ODI Ruffians, which are good, to Lizardskins Chargers, which to me are far better, much more comfy and they really fend off fatigue well.

    Awesome, gives me a few things to think about. I seem to remember most lizardskins stuff being cheaper than ODI anyway, which is a bonus. Anyone else had any experience with the charge grips? price seems too good to be true...

    Oh, only downer with the lizardskins grips is that they come with different bar ends to the ODIs, they're not as nice imo- they're soft plastic plus rather than the integral ones on the Ruffians. But they're compatible so I just swapped 'em.

    I do indeed, i run them on my commencal. Not had them long, but they seem good. Quite firm, i like them. I haven't run odi's before so i can't help there.
    In terms of value i don't think you can beat them, some of the cheapest lock ons i could find.
