If I didn’t ride in such tight twisty woods much of the time I’d have wider bars. As it is I often ride with my hands over the end of the grips. My bike came with normal rubber grips which worked pretty well but I switched them for foam grips, which were good when new but with so much pressure on the outer edge they’re rapidly wearing thin. Hitting trees and other assorted crashes haven’t helped either…
I don’t want lock rings on the outer ends of the grips because that’s where my palms rest. I think I prefer thicker grips. Curiously, hammering down Cwmcarn at the weekend I didn’t end up with aching forearms but with aching fingers, like they’d locked in position, maybe because the foam grips are pretty thin now?
Suggestions please!
