Hi folks,ok ive got the skyway tuff flex issue sorted thanks for yer comments ;D next up is ,what grips are you runnin on the old school rider, thing is ive got the run of mill ame tri's on mine which yep they look cool o/school but tbh they feel a tad hard and uncunfy riding now,back int day we ran mushrooms and the fortunates oak f1s proper soft and sticky.so it came to this ok its a rider not payin silly money for f1 oakleys,so fook it im experimenting with these, first up just bought these any good or not? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150504413194&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT if not il consider your comments :LolLolLolLol:

Stick with your Tri's bud and stop being gay - so they take a layer of skin off every time you take your bike for a spin, but they did in the '80's and we didn't cry about it then..... man up, or go home and do the dishes :LolLolLolLol:
But seriously, try Toadstools if you can't afford Mushies - they come up all the time, or Ami Rounds :daumenhoch:
Spen
ps - them SE ebay things look like your missus will be wondering where the batteries go in the new toy you just bought her....... :2funny:

AME Rounds do just the job for me.
-
Same here ,A'me rounds on my O/S race bike , but I use race gloves , that's for when I fall off though :crazy2:
like Spen says SM Mushies or soft toadstools if they have to be Ol' school .
Loads of modern grips are soft ,comfy and grippy though can't go wrong with ODI's , get to a decent bike shop and try em out :daumenhoch:

like Spen says....
Fook me Dubstep, no sarcasm? :LolLolLolLol:

Modern ame rounds on nearly everything i've had in the last 3 years, I like SE wing grips too, and i'm currently flirting with some shadow conspiracy things on a newer rider. Had some mushies last year, didn't like them as much as when I was 12!!
I prefer rounds to tris or cams though, for me, it is the grip that ticks all boxes, and the new ones are great for an os rider without costing £25.
-
got rounds to go on my banger, tris for the haro - no real reason like em both just thought the tris looked better as I like the slimmer profile on the ends
Tris worked out dead cheap from porkchop esp when combined with a few lightweight bits that didn't bump up the postage)
prefer both of them to mushies - never liked them bitd they felt too squidgey to me
if I was going to spend on OS grips would get sharps, had them on my bike bitd and loved them - unfortunately they're about £35 a go now (wish they would re-issue those)
-
ODI longnecks if its a rider, best grips ever... :daumenhoch:
-
Lock ons if you want them extra comfy ::)
