[#11258313]

Birthday time ( happily coincides with Fathers Day) I asked for a set of RevGrips. Thought be a lot of hocum. Not so. Bloody hell they made a difference. Not in any less fatigued feeling by the end of the ride, more just a nicer feeling all during the ride. (for perspective I'm fully rigid, I have gears though, I'm not that sadistic) Expensive, but maybe worth some research by people who are after some extra dampening.

I have some.  They really are good......well worth half the price😀. When they wear out I’ll have to be feeling very flush to buy them again.

Lol. Advantages of a birthday/Fathers Day indulgence for me, but yes, they are expensive.

You can buy replacement grip cartridges.
Still not cheap though.

That's good to know. I had no idea about replacement cartridges.

Yep, bought some as a last ditch attempt to sort out my CTS. Expected snake oil but willing to try through desperation but they really help. Just wish they did an xl version.

Truss forks and 29x3.0 may blow your mind. 🤩

XL as in grip diameter or length? I like mine but find them a bit narrow, hardly big hands either

Never found the width a problem, do I have Trump hands? 🙁

No, even the cartridges alone are more than normal grips.  I’m periodically rotating mine so I use every last possible gram of rubber before they are done.

Ideally more girth but a bit more width wouldn't go amiss.

I run a set of Race recently on couple of rides so far and find them comfy

Would have preferred the Pros I felt but am real pleased with mine

If anyone near Plymouth then Dave at RSF has a few sets cheaper than rrp

👍
