I've worn my Ergon Enduros down to the plastic tube and need to replace them. Any other recommendations for comfort on epic rides?

ODI rogue, big, squishy and deep channels cope with any amount of mud.

Used to use ODI rogues, while the above are great attributes I found even with my spade hands they could feel a touch big, and when it got technical they were too 'squirmy' rotationally? Though depends on how much squish you need as you tire?

Edinburgh Bike Coop (Revolation) used to do some Ergon stylee grips for around half the price, not sure if they still do them?

ODI troy lee grips, i bought mine on recommendation and though they looked like they would be gash but i love 'em.
Really comfortable and they provide so much grip its silly, and my hands dont feel sore after about 10k like they always have done with other grips.

For me a set of ODI X-trainers attached to a set of [url= http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/mtb-parts/mtb-accessories/bar-ends/cane-creek-ergo-control-ii-bar-ends.html ]Cane Creek ergo's[/url] does the job well

I like the odi mushroom style grips but they can retain a little water in the ribs.

But what is working really well is the ESI grips. They are very comfortable, incredibly light. And way better than the cruddy foam grips from the 80s... Made from Silicone not foam.

Two varieties... Racers edge (skinny) and chunky (normal)

just bought 3rd set of Ergon GE1, haven't found anything as good. only wish they clamped on the inside (as well or instead) so there wasn't such a huge clamp on the end of bar where i want to put my hands..
