A pair of these but in less shouty black
While I'm liking the ESI on's the BFe, the ease of Lock-ons is a huge bonus, so I've gone for the Eastons over a few other options, mainly because of the extra material over the clamps, I hold the bars right on the end so some lock-ons have a tendency to dig in on long descents, obviously not a problem with the ESI's, but with my current SDG Han Solo's I've found they can get a little uncomfortable on some of the long descents we have around here. Plus using Easton bars and stem means everything matches which is never a bad thing!

So do I but didn't think it would work too well with the green already on the HD, the easton green looks positively eye-seering!! 0 -

It does look bright, lol. My superstar and uberbike greens match the lime green accents on my boardman perfectly, but they'e a sod to keep clean.0 -
8 x A4 of this on eBay for £10, going to wrap the fork of my Chucker. The left over is going to be used to wrap my mudguard. And my helmet. Though im not sure how well it sticks to skin...

Arrived this morning, but the Thick version really is thick, they feel huge!! I wasn't sure which to go for, they offer two thickness, and the thick was closest to the ESI Chunkies I've got on the BFe, but I've ordered another pair, thin this time and then I'll decide which ones feel better, can always send the other pair back 0 -

Not used the Rogues but have used ODI Cross Trainers and Troy Lee's, SDG Han Solo's, so a fair selection of ODI grips! The Easton's feel pretty good, feel like they'd be pretty comfortable, not squidgy exactly, but just a touch on the chunky side. Once the thinner ones turn up I'll be able to compare the two.0 -

Thought I'd try one of the On-One £20 helmets as I had a big crash in my current MET one today (and it's 5 years old).
Ended up getting a bit carried away and buying one of their roadie ones too.0 -
I trashed the mirrored lens on my Spy goggles when snowboarding the other day, so have just ordered a set of Smith IO Acid Heads...
Not for MTB obviously... the bike is collecting dust now there's snow on the hills Current:

Happy Birthday to me
I'm thinking of going for my birthday at the start of April (plus a full face helmet for this trip!).
Great present that though. Happy birthday to you.0 -

You will have a blast. I f@cking love Antur. Easily my favourite place to ride. Just wish it was a tad closer.
They are building another track at the moment. Supposed to be an easier Blue, but from the pics on FB, it looks like a bit of a jump fest.0 -

These arrived today. Brilliant for £20 each. MET one was maybe £50 and the cradle on each of these is much better.0 -

I concur. Had mine a few weeks now, great ventilation, weighs nothing and is a great fit.0 -

How much and where from?
My current light means I can be seen, but I'll be damned if I can see anything myself!0 -
