Well, no one's reviewed these yet, so here it is. I got these in the attmpt to alleviate some of the hand pains I got during rides. I'm 23, so it ain't arthritis or anything. I had some Yeti dual compound grips before these, also in the attempt, but I think they were just too thick. These were okay, but I think the real problem was the handlebar, and the fact that the bend was just wrong for me. I had a Hyperlite 5 deg, which I recently replaced with a Specialized Special Rise bar, with a 9 deg. bend. It's strange because it's so wide, but so far no pain... I might try the Yeti grips again, just to get more cush, but these are very nice for winter riding-very thin, but grippy. If you have problems with grips sliding around, forget about hairspray, it'll just dissolve in the rain. Try motorcycle grip cement or tire patch glue, they work great and dry fast. Anywho, four stars for these, because they're just grips, and not everyone will like them.
