Hi
I'm looking to get some super-narrow grips for the balance bike I'm building for my daughter.
What are the narrowest grips out there suitable for very small hands?
Cheers
Steve

^ very good!
Will go with bar tape I think. Having not used the stuff for a very, very long time is the cheap stuff OK?

Halfords sell the full foam grips for road/ touring bars. These can be cut to length and are cheap.

If you can wait until the 10th of dec I can send you a new one to cut down.
Email me if this would help

Each once of these is around a foot long

Gravity do some new thin ones, look lovely. I've only recently realised how noticeable the difference can be. I.e. new thick gloves on superstar excel and I couldn't grip as per normal and got arm pump.... Back to regular superstars....
