I've recently found I'm getting a bit of pain in my hands on my XC bike on rides over about 4 hours or so, my currently fitted grips are quite thin, not very soft basic lock on jobbies, I notice Superstar are doing their "Excel" grip at the mionute which they claim is thicker and softer , anyone got any experience of these? are they likely to help with my hand pain issue?
Before I buy a pair, is there anything similar I should be looking at? (I only do Lock on type grips by the way) ....
