Can't seem to find any fat lock-on grips for ape-like big spade hands. Anything out there?

Well big enough for most folk to comment on them. Kinda XXL.

I've got big hands and I always struggle to find grips. Small ones make my hands ache but I bought these in the summer and they've been perfect

I've just recently got a cheap set of ergons which have instantly sorted out the outside of hand numbness problem that I've had for years. I've tried a multitude of 'big' grips none of which had the same effect.

i got big hands but now use ruffian grips instead of rouges as they make it easier for me to rotate the grips when styling it ๐Ÿ™‚

QTF!
I have normal sized hands size L (10) in gloves and even ruffians are too fat for my liking. one of the many reasons I rarely wear gloves anymore.

XXL doesn't sound massive to me and at that size I still reckon nie thin grips would work best (assuming you've set-up your bars, levers and fork properly).

Personnally I'm in the process of replacing my yeti lock-on for Rogue's. I don't have huge (XLL) hands but do find stuff like ruffian's far too thin & annoying. I was skeptical but as Old_mtber gave a set, so didn't have to worry about buying them, took a few rides to get my hands used to them but I'm not changing back.

Worth mentioning, the set of Rogue's I aquired were from MrTall, who has larger hands than me (his username is very apt), he's using Sunline grips.

Sunline half waffle THICK.. I bought four pairs to have two sets spare for my 2 bikes... great for bigger hands (I am only an XL glove size though which isn't that huge)... they last ages and they are super soft but firm enough to give good handling..

There is a thin and thick version.

Sunline thick grips - I have a set, they're ridiculous. (I don't like them, they're too thick)
