Mmmmmm – one my bike tonight – BTW I know some people don't like white grips so this maybe not for you (in fact a year ago I didn't 😉 )

Edit: And I know they won't stay white 😉

My only prob with white grips is they stop being white grips after the first time you use them 😉

never understood the whole white grips thing, as per Jamie they turn dirty brown after a couple of rides. If you know they won't stay white, why buy white ones? I think it just looks naff… 😳

That's not to say they don't look lovely now 😀

My only problem with white grips is they look **** awful.

nail brush and muc off after every ride keeps mine white enough.

Heavy lock on grips on a lightweight race build. 😡

Cleaning grips after every ride WTF.

Cleaning grips after every ride WTF.

This is STW.

I have some (now) off-white grips that came with my Zesty if anyone has a grip-cleaning fetish that needs satisfying.

Kingtut – heavey – really?

Also not a race build – it's for an all in one build – race, XC, Bit of techno as well 🙂

BTW just to keep to form I have built up my new "all in one build" with a fair bit of helicopter tape on the frame – There you go I am anal enough to clean my grips with a bit of bleach 😉

Yup, around 116g compared to 40g or less for foams.

+ bar end plugs if were being a weight weenie KT 🙂

Edit – 106 g / pair (on my scales)

Don't think I am going to notice 70g

FR.

Looking forward to seeing the finished build pics
🙂

Solo – Nearly done – Still need to put new bits on tonight (grips and SP collar), index, align valve/rim decal and poss trim fr hydraulic cable & bleed (if I can get the olive off without cutting), trim steerer a little 🙂

Maybe a piccy tomorrow? 🙂

Yeh Yeh yawn yawn Kinesis Boy 😉

I use a solvent spray and airline to clean my cassette – works a treat 🙂

Nice in a 'pimped' style. I'm off down the shops – I've grip envy.
