Hi Chaps,
Is anyone here using ESI grips? And if so.... what size are you using?
cheers
Ricks
6'2", big hands (you know what that means) but the ESI Racers Edge ones have been excellent. Haven't needed to try the Chunky ones.
yes and chunky. not that much difference in them really
yes. got chunky. haven't used them yet - seem a nice width 'round the car park'
the chunky ones are supposed to be profiled. i couldn't see it.
Racer's edge on carbon bars and 120mm Maguras. Very comfy. Also excellent with carbon bars / Steel Singular Hummingbird fork and 29" front wheel. Trying to justify buying a pair for my other bike - the existing grips have loads of life left in them.
Use chunky ones (not tried the Racers Edge)
They are slightly profiled - thicker on one side than the other so you can have more foam where your hands rest.
Most comfy grips I've used but are a little fragile - took a big chunk out of one the other day in a crash and out of another when I clipped a branch.
Is there a UK supplier for ESI grips?
Yes, on my second set. Both Chunky as I have big hands and tend to prefer long rides/races.
Is there a UK supplier for ESI grips?
there was - i oculdn't find any uk based ones the other day.
got mine from greg at trucker co (US) on ebay. turned up in about 6 days.
I've got 2 pairs from Trucker Co in the US and both have arrived really quickly. I couldn't find the ones I wanted in the UK at the time.
Looking at current prices it's a fiver cheaper to get them posted from the US than to buy them in the UK. 🙄
