Have just got my 5yr old a Frog 52 having grown out of his Cnoc14. It is a nice bike, but the only downside is the lockon grips are huge as the bars are standard size - they measure 30mm in diameter.
Anyone know what the thinnest grips on the market are? Don't need to be lock-on, just thinner.
roadie bar tape ?
Good idea, will give that a go with some slightly padded tape
Try and find some onza porcipaws, they used to be the thinnest grips around.

I have some new thin foam grips I'll happily send you if you'd like to try them.
Email me if they're any use.
Lizard skins made an Arron Chase signature grip that is the thinnest grip I've ever used. It's thinner than bar tape.

Islabike grips are superslim and they make a gripshift ready version if required.

Islabike bars are thinner too though. Maybe bars from Islabike as well?
Bars aren't thinner as my son has regular lock on grips on his Isla.

nothing thinner when I looked
Isla are out of stock, but I will keep an eye out.
Got some Clarkes childs grips from halfords which are 28mm but they are a bit narrow. He thinks they are better though
