$8.00 | | Purchased At: | nashbar | | Strengths: | Inexpensive, variariety of colors, sticky | | Weaknesses: | The grips are very sticky, and in warm weather if you take a digger in some dirt, the dirt will stick to your grips. | | Similar Products Used: | Coda weave | | Bike Setup: | C-Dale F2000sl | | Bottom Line: | The CODA weaves were wearing out and starting to slip, so I picked these up cheap. The blue grip looks cool on my bike, and the grip works great. So slippage. It is a good grip at a fair price, and looks good to boot. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
