Hi Peeps,

I’m looking at replacing the grips on m Gary Fisher Pirhana as they keep sliding around.
I have narrowed my search down to 2 possibilities.

Raceface Strafe;
Or ;
Lizard Skin Peaty grips.

Has anyone tried either of these, also the Raceface Strafe grips appear quite thick and chunky , are they.Hi Peeps,

    Superstar's lock-ons are pretty good but personally I prefer ODI's Ruffian MX (waffle on the underside) or the X-Treme.

    For the choice of colour, design (as they are made by ODI) and cost you simply cannot beat Superstar lock-on's !! very, very impressed !!

    From Superstar's website: Woah there, bargain of the year! Superstar Lock on grips from the same factory as nearly every other type on the market (Except ODI), but for Superstar Prices!

    Never understood why people get so excited about Peatys, they're very ordinary, not much different to Ruffians. Me, I love the Rogues, similiar idea but softer and more textured. They don't last brilliantly for that reason but they're great while they last. Lizard Skins Charge are nice if you want a squashy grip.

    They're not made by ODI and the design of the clamps is inferior to the ODI design :? Though they're still good value.
