I have been using ODI rogue but don't find them that comfy, get a bit of hand numbness. Is there a comfier lock on?

Thought about ESI but only seem to be available from the USA

The more I look at ergons the less I like the look of them

Anything else?

Specialised BG ones - tried Ergon grips but never really thought they were as good.

I was using Rogues but I swapped to Lizard Skins Charger grips. Really comfy but not too fat.

Sunline Logo's are great for me. Choice of thin or thick depending on the size of your hands

ODI yeti lock on pretty comfy on most of my non-yeti bikes

ODI Longneck, it's a lock on bmx mushroom grip, very similar to other mtb lockons but comfier.

Hand numbness is probably down to too bigger grips. Lock-ons are always quite chunky. Try normal stick on ones, with a few turns of tidy tie-wire at either end. Just put three turns of wire down, twist it tight with pliers. Clip the twist short with cutters and fold it over gently with a small hammer. Hey presto! Cheaper, lighter, thinner lock-on grips!

Another one with Lizard Skins Chargers here, they're ribbed so feel very soft while still being grippy, they seem to reduce vibration a bit. Lovely.

Does anyone make a lock-on similar to the yet to be released shimano PRO grips?

I sometimes get sore hands from the lock on clamp digging into my hands.
