Title: Grips.
Post by: Voodoocars on October 03, 2009, 04:05 PM: What grips do you use? Fat or thin. Why? I had wethepeople rhombus grips on that were fat and then changed them to some mcneil thin grips. I've swapped back now cause the thin ones felt odd but now the fat ones feel too fat ??? I also tried some fit thin grips but they were so hard I had blisters on my hands after one sesh (funny comments welcome ::))

Post by: Gary72 on October 04, 2009, 07:53 AM: Normally use Odessey Team grips, very similar to the old Sharp 1.11 grips. Do have a set of longnecks here to try next. Use Sixpack lock on grips on my race bike.

Post by: lodge on October 05, 2009, 09:56 PM: Thin and longnecks for me too, I do wonder if the size of your hands has anything to do it though.

Post by: magna13 on October 05, 2009, 11:05 PM: Fat grips suck. i get the feeling they lower my ability of doing stuff on a bike.

Im running Primo 'Josh Stricker' grips in pink and they are very nice grips, thin and sticky but get extremely dirty >:(
