recommend me some soft squidgy comfy grips please

I used to swear by raceface lockon’s and odi ruffians and then I tried these…

holy shit there good!

ESI.

yeah ESI you can get a chunkyer one than the racers edge. squish.

I’ve gone back to good old Raceface Good n Evils.

Nice and fat and squidgy and sticky.

Back to the old fashioned push on jobs too. Never got on with lock-ons; always ended up with my hand on the (uncomfortable) outer collar.

lots will disagree with the ESI’s!

My hands are xlarge in gloves by the way and I’ve got a pair of ourys that got used 2x as they are too thick and felt horrid.

I’d really really really recommend trying the lizard skins (the name is a massive off put but dont let it be as they are top grips)

ESI here as well.

Difficult to find in the UK at the moment though

i thought the superstar excel were worth a punt for 9 quid and so far so good, they are extra thick and long for people with big hands, work fairly well on the single speed

Not that hard to find. 😉

I have ESIs and they are good for most of the time. I have found that in some circumstances i can feel the bar through them though. If you have big hands i would imagine even the chunky ones are a bit narrow though.

My wife has standard (non lock on) oury mountains on her bike. These seem to have a lot more squish than the ESIs.

Superstars are ok I got the ultra soft ones and wore them out in 2 weeks in france!

ESI Chunkys. They also fit really well next to GripShift too.

I really like the boggo Ritchey WCS foam grips:
Light, comfy, grippy.

I don’t use lock-ons and they don’t slip.

must look harder next time 😳

when I looked last week they had every colour bar black

+1 for Rusty Spanner

The Ritchey WCS foam grips are also dirt cheap (£6.99 on ebay for e.g.)

I really like the ODI Rogues… Squidgiest? Don’t know but very comfy and squidgy and grippy. Though if they get muddy you can see them wearing away before your eyes mid ride

Foam grips. Only thing is they do soak up water but I found it noticeable on a rigid bike that they made it less harsh. Felt a bit funny gurning up climbs on a SS though.

+1 for Raceface Good n Evils

I’ve always found RF G’n’E’s ok but I wouldn’t call them squidgy.

Foam grips. Only thing is they do soak up water

My Bonty X-lite ones don’t, but I wouldn’t call then squidgy either.

Another vote for Ritchey WCS, got ’em on both bikes. Cheap as chips and they do a lock on stylee now.
