Title: Repop ODI Mushies.
Post by: Retrodan72 on March 08, 2013, 08:20 AM

I saw these getting sold by Alan's on eBay.

Any good? They look ok, and are cheap enough.   :-\

I've a set of genuine og Odi's and paid nearly 3 times more, I just wondered if the 'feel' was similar?  ???

The og ones were crap BITD, I had 2 sets that just fell apart on the bars. :daumenhoch:

Yeah I know what you mean about the ones from BITD, I would imagine theyre pretty similar to be honest....unless theyve changed the compound slightly?  Are they about £8?

Not had the new ones Dan but, I loved the 'old' ones. I know they didn't last long but they were great for grip bro  :daumenhoch:

The new ones are fine Dan.People say they are slightly harder but I've had the 2 side by side and tbh you can hardly tell the difference.Think the new ones only come in black though? :daumenhoch:

Good consumer advice as always lads, I'll risk a set, and why not for the price of a few pints. :daumenhoch:

I've got a pair and they are sound, much nicer on a rider than the repop ame, soft as. Not sure how long they will last but for how often the bike actually gets ridden they will be fine  8)

Why do every site you find them on, not show a picture of the front of the grip flange, with the big gear cog stamping on it though  :-\
