£24 seems steep, don't mind the price if they're great.

Not worth it imo, absolutely loved the kevlar push ons, not so sold on the extra thickness of the lock ons, my kevlar ones haven't lasted particularly well and now they have worn down smooth they are quite slippy when wet, my supersoft white ones lasted a month and the grey ones i had were way too hard. Going back to my trusty old ruffians next time i think (or maybe some more kevlar push ons). Definately the most over hyped product of recent times for me.

I like them. Durable (so far), comfy and grippy. Granted if the palms of your gloves get covered in mud then they can be slippy. Would I pay £24.99...Er no but as I get mine at 'bike shope staff price' then happy to use them.

Try the new Hope lock ons. just put some on mine and i have a sneaky suspicion they are the best lockon grips ever made, no collars causing pressure, just lovely thin grip all the way across, kinda like a slip on grip but better!

haven't tried them, but I dont think they are worth it really. They do look high quality, but I got these [url= http://www.moovebikeco.com/lock-on-grips-anodised ]http://www.moovebikeco.com/lock-on-grips-anodised[/url] for under £10 and the quality is comparable to the ODI's I had.

I'm not sure about mine. I prefer the feel of my odi Yeti grips, odies feel softer and slightly thicker which I prefer.

Dont think they look that great either, might take mine off if I still don't get on with them this weekend.

I've got the super soft ones and quite like them apart from the fact that they're white. They seem to have solved the issues I was having with sore hands and blisters. On top of that, they're actually wearing quite well which surprised me.

Whether they're any better than ODI's I'm not sure ( certainly better than my ODI rip offs ).

I like my ODI Troy Lees, but would prefer them slightly wider and slightly thinner.
