what are the best about at the moment? are there any other than ergon type ones that provide a bit more cushioning that standard peaty type ones?? i used them a while back and they felt like i was resting my hands on brick, they had no spongy/absorbing characteristics what so ever.....think they were the lizard skin peaty ones, are there any good alternatives out there?

ODI Yetis I'd say - not mega long lasting but fairly grippy and cushioning ๐Ÿ™‚

Peaty's grips are super tacky!

EDIT: thats Tacky as in sticky, not Tacky as in Lame!

Another vote for Rogues, they're grippy and have a bit of cushioning. I found Peaty's too small and a bit on the hard side.

If you really want cushioning go for Ourys or Sunline thicks. You need to have big hands though as they are FAT.
I just don't like the feel of the Yetis - too much pattern. (and I've got a Yeti ๐Ÿ™‚ )

DO u wear gloves? I prefer padded gloves with thin grips.

Outland do some inexpensive copies of ODI rogues. But they are firm/grippy, not squishy/grippy.

Got a set of Bontrager Race Lite grips [url= http://bontrager.com/model/07836 ]here[/url] with only the one locking nut on the inside. Find it loads more comfortable than the double lock on, for the outside of my hands. Has reduced my hand pump on downhills noticably and I dont seem to get any twist in them at all which was my concern originally.

Just tarted my bike up with some of these ultra tasteless yellow Nuke Proof grips...

Superstarcomponents for value and reasonably comfortable. It's as much about thickness as how soft they are. Sunnline do some nice thick ones.

Another vote for Superstar - loads of colours too. Have them on both my bikes and they've been fine gloveless in the last few week's hot weather.

Dont get Sunline lock ons. They are terrible. Spend their whole time coming loose and moving around and I found the rubber was very plasticky giving very little grip.
