GRIPS
My ESI Chunky grips are falling apart. I guess the branches and tree edges that I occasionally clip have opened slits in the grips at the edges and now they’re coming apart. Also, in the wet they are lethal without gloves. Though they are pretty good for dealing with arm pump, at least these chunky ones give a little “dislocated” feeling to the steering. A bit like I’m riding with boxing gloves on. Also, in wet conditions water can get underneath the grip between it and the handlebar, along with grit. Now they can move if I don’t grasp the handlebar pretty firmly (yes, I applied them properly).
I’m open to suggestions. These looked good:

Any other thoughts?
FWIW, I will be using them to ride red/black runs at trail centres, I have medium to large hands (for a bloke), and I wear gloves.
