he's cutting edge, mark my words in 6 months all the bike companies will be making real long grips like the fly ones and the no brakes massive will all be running them.
even the one brakers like Rob here will have them and the super long grip will be standard.

okay, so he's been influenced by something that was around in 2003, but taken it a bit further.  :daumenhoch:


ps: is that a leather look posing pouch you used as a stem pad?

doubling up grips has been around since the late eighties i believe....ive seen several kneesavers with cut down double grips on. Ive always thought it looked quite cool personally.

It was a flatland thing - sitting on your bars etc...

ahh cheers, i thought it was for barspins/ no handers when you missed your grips :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: lavender sunday
Post by: rarman1 on November 16, 2008, 10:26 PM
yeah i had seen it on a few flatland bikes in the past and assumed it was to make bars softer for certain tricks,

in the past year when hanging up on quaters and vert i've ended up landing on my bars a good few times and my ribs are getting real sore so i hope the double grip job will help me out a bit the next time i f*ck up and land on them >:D
