Hi guys, Looking for some well priced grips that will fit my hands better?

My current grips (On One lock on's) are quite slim and I have to clench my hands fairly tight, Would like some chunkier ones to help with pains.

Any recommendations? Cheers.

    ODI Troy Lee for medium thickness, or Sunline lock on thick for very thick.

    Superstar Excel are very wide whereas these two are standard width so should fit most bars.

    ODI Rogue's are good, they're a decent thickness but also a good grip design. I never like the Sunline's I tried, although they were thick, the grip itself wasn't that great IMO. As said, Exel's are very, very wide compared to others, I wouldn't be able to use them with the newer short Shimano brake levers.

    I'm not all about thick grips though, I'm only using the Rogue's because a very kind man lent me them. Still undecided if I want to run a set myself but if I was to get thicker grips these would definitely be them.

    If you are getting a lot of pain though, maybe you should consider some Ergon's or similar. My Dad gets a lot of wrist pain with any normal grips due to something wrong with them (there's a proper name for it, just can't remember what it is) but it's no where near as bad with some Ergon's. Obviously wrist pain is different to hand pain but you don't actually say exactly where the pain is so thought I would cover it just incase.

    Bontrager Race X Lite are good (not XXX Lite) if you want something light.

    Race face strafes would be good, but they seem to be mahoosively expensive for some reason.

    ODI Rogue & Race Face Strafe both great for big hands without being squishy and/or long

    Close call but I prefer the Strafes meself although they are rather expensive.
