My only prob with white grips is they stop being white grips after the first time you use them 😉
never understood the whole white grips thing, as per Jamie they turn dirty brown after a couple of rides. If you know they won't stay white, why buy white ones? I think it just looks naff... 😳
That's not to say they don't look lovely now 😀
My only problem with white grips is they look ****ing awful.
nail brush and muc off after every ride keeps mine white enough.

Cleaning grips after every ride WTF.

I have some (now) off-white grips that came with my Zesty if anyone has a grip-cleaning fetish that needs satisfying.
Kingtut - heavey - really?
Also not a race build - it's for an all in one build - race, XC, Bit of techno as well 🙂
BTW just to keep to form I have built up my new "all in one build" with a fair bit of helicopter tape on the frame - There you go I am anal enough to clean my grips with a bit of bleach 😉

Yup, around 116g compared to 40g or less for foams.
+ bar end plugs if were being a weight weenie KT 🙂
Edit - 106 g / pair (on my scales)
Don't think I am going to notice 70g

Looking forward to seeing the finished build pics
