Can you please recommend me some suitable grips? Current ones are wearing out, looking for something comfortable for long rides rather than thrashing downhill.
ta muchly 🙂
Odi Rogue lock ons always.
using Bonty ones at the moment - they do double and single lockons, and ones with a flange. All good.
Something ribbed and tight that yields to the touch and with a tidy flange.
Sunline mushroom - £4

Peaty lock ons my current favourites.
ESI Chunky work for me, but am currently trying out some Ergon GA1s, but too early to comment on those yet.
LizardSkinz NorthShore.
ODI Ruffians. THE BEST!!
odi rogues. tryed most of the odis peaty & ruffians wore out quite quick. the rogues last ages
+1 for ruffians. got in green with purple lock clamps. bling. also used the odi yeti. super comfy but expensive. great grips though. super grippy, super comfy. had in white which didnt stay white long.
EDI chunky, or superstar grips are my choice.
Yeti lock ons.
I'm using animal bike co edwin grips, not lock on though. Great grips though.
ODI longnecks are grand too
Ragley are nice and available in some lovely colours.
ODI Ruffian's
Only grips I'd ever buy. On both bikes, love 'em.
On one Oury - Soft and £5.99
I use ODI rogues and love them. Only grips I can use as anything smaller gives me hand cramps. But as Superstar have brought out big ones I shall try them next as a lot cheaper.

Ergon grips. Brilliant for long rides.
Lizard skinz charger works great for me. Grippy, never found them uncomfortable, even work gloveless if you swing that way.
ODI Rogues last for ages, but are really only suitable for those of us with very large paws. Mine outlived the locking collars themselves and still had plenty of rubber on them after three years of daily use.
I use Lizard Skins Chargers, mine have lasted 18 months so far and I quite like them. Next time round I want something with slightly more padding though.
been really happy with on-one bob-on myself, superstar are okay but only for shorter rides.... both great value loc-ons

I've got girl hands and I still love the Rogues. Good for all riding I reckon.
i have lizard skins grips and they work great for me.
You are all wrong!
Race face good and evil are the ONLY option
original YETI hardcores - nuch nicer than lock on version - BUT a faff if taking off etc

ODI Rogue or Ruffians. Expensive, but worth it.
+1 for Lizard Skin Chargers. Love 'em...and they wear very well also.

Do they do a lock-on now?
Salsa Juenos de Fuegos are my grip of choice.

Tried a few ODI grips and the only ones I really liked are the Yeti, use them all the time now. A couple of grips I tried in the past and rated are the WTB tech trail (notice they now do lock on) and the Onza Ules (started making these again now - was sad when they stopped.) Both quite narrow but sticky.
oh! 😯 .............. which ones do I choose!?
Why isn't life simples.
and ones with a flange
He said 'flange'. 😆
Sorry.
