Mmmmmm - one my bike tonight - BTW I know some people don't like white grips so this maybe not for you (in fact a year ago I didn't 😉 )

Edit: And I know they won't stay white 😉

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 😀

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 😉

Spot on. Nice pic of the new-build on a Friday would be good.

Then, weekend shake-down ride.

Shakes head in disapproval.

Hillsplease - check superstar grips out - you can get some nice pimp combos going for only £10.00
