I've looked around the forum and have not seen must info on 'Grips' folks use.
Maybe it's a beginners question so better post it in the right section.
Anyway, what are folks using and what do they favour on there bars?
These look comfy - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=9687

Does hand size matter with the 'Peaty Grips' or any other grips?
I'm guessing I'm an XL! 0 -
I looooove Lizard Skins Charge. I've got a set of Peatys and a set of ODI Ruffians and they'er pretty ordinary but the Charges are grippy and for me miles more comfortable.Uncompromising extremist0

I've got ODI ruffians lock-on's on 2 bikes. Not comfy for bare hands, so I use gloves ;-)
I only realise how good they were until I bought a new bike, after my first ride I found I didn't have enough feel with the standard grips so invested in a new pair of ruffians. Noticed a difference straight away.Somewhere in the Surrey Hills :-)0 -
The Superstar lock ons look good too, never tried them but for that price....

i got these bad boys and they are lovely with gloves, but abit nasty without them, and they get dirty sooooooo fast its unreal (although i did buy them im white so i guess thats my own stupid fault). on the plus side once they are locked on they arent moving for love nor money, so thats a bonus

Superstar are definitely worth looking at though!0 -

ODI Ruffians for me.0

northwind- i have lizard skins chargers lock ons too- best grips i've ever used, comfortable for miles after miles, 'only' £15 but the slip on version's about £8, best with gloves, and just so comfortable!0

Peatys, ODI Ruffians, try ESI s if you want to save a bit of weight, they're all good. None of them will slip and they are all comfortable, although I find the ESI more so as they don't have the lock on collars.0

got some superstars
very good grip and exceptional value.
i have white they are not white anymore they are brown and you can't scrub them up so unless you ride in an operating theatre get a different colour0 -
yet another vote for Peaty's
Got them in graphite with red collars and its a shame to get them mucky, they are that nice
I like the fact they say cheers on them as if they are giving you a drink. Simple things :roll:0 -
I'm an ODI Ruffians man myself.0

-
+1 for SuperStar from me as well, great grips for the cash and you can choose coloured locking rings as well as coloured grip.0
-
These new Renthal ones look interesting... Kevlar for soft feel and long life.Uncompromising extremist0

Odi Extreme lock-ons for me. Comfortable, good size for my hands (about average size), grippy & look the business 8)"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0
