$10.00 | | Purchased At: | Bits and Bikes | | Strengths: | long, thin but very soft, dual compound (harder rubber ont he ends) solid end (no end plugs to fight with and lose. raised bumps on the ends to prevent hands from slipping off the bars.
they stick to the bars (no slipping yet even though ive had the same pair off and on 6 times and on different bars. | | Weaknesses: | zip, they are the perfect grip | | Similar Products Used: | nothing compares | | Bike Setup: | they are currently on my Knoa Stinky though i will buy them for every bike i own as soon as i can find some more | | Bottom Line: | I love the width, ive always felt cramped ont eh bars with all the controls in the way even with thumbshifters (rapid mis-fire is even worse). the long grips work very well with my braking style (1 finger, index only).
they really make it hard to ride with any other grip, everything else pales in comparison.
the bumps at the ends of the grips have saved my neck a few times (youll know what i mean if youve ever slipped off the end of your handlebar!!!). | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

--Long & sticky!(I know what yer thinkin', so just fergit it)... | | Weaknesses: |
--Nada. | | Similar Products Used: |
--Coda's: (2 different kinds of regular grips, forgot the names). | | Bike Setup: |
--Mounted on an Easton Monkey-Lite Hi-Rise (26). | | Bottom Line: | Excellent feel and grip. I keep 'em on for everything from downhill bombing to street riding. Good looks. These are about 5 and a half inches long, so I didn't have to trim down the Monkey Lite to make everything fit = more control, less hassle. The closed ends are great too, 'cause I don't use bar-ends. But 'em if you need this type of grip. | | Overall Rating: |
