Title: Grips
Post by: toooldforthis on March 28, 2006, 01:46 PM: Is there any rhyme or reason to use specific grips for specific bikes?

Reason I'm asking is that I keep seeing the same grips time and time again - Ame's, F1's or Mushrooms.

I used to love Oakley 3's, but ain't been able to find any for sale, is there an Oakley 3 drought or something??

:wtf:

some builds are trying to be as they came out of the shop, but the argument is that we changed all the bits as soon as we got them home.

it depends on whats readily available still, too...

plus some members wont pay more than 35p for anything....
