Got big hands with fingers like a bunch of Lincolnshire sausages. Which lock-on grips do I need to be looking at???To stop my hands going numb on rides.

OURY grips are pretty chunky and loads of colours too.

rogues are good, but if you're getting numb hands i'd look at the bar/control position. Look at your position on the bike, your hand should be straight through the wrist to the elbow and to the controls if that makes sense.
Riding with a cocked wrist can cause all sorts of pain!
As a starter try rotating the bars back a touch and probably droping the brakes and shifters down a little more to try and get everything straight.
If setupwise everything is good, then try the ergon grips, great for stopping hand numbness.0 -

Ha yeah Rogues will do you good. They are like holding pringles tubes (ok maybe I exaggerate a little). Just remember to make sure you get them with the lock-on clamps as they sometimes sell without the clamps.0
