    I’m in the process of a winter hardtail build project (Cotic Solaris Max- cosmic black, gurt lush it is) and because I’m on the spectrum everything needs to be just so…..

    Therefore I need grips that are the same shade of orange as ‘Hope’ orange (to match hubs obvs) Any suggestions ?

    Black ones. You’ll never match the anodised orange on a rubber material.

    Coloured grips are second only to coloured pedals in the land of bellenddrum. Stick with black, stay classy 😉

    All orange grips are bright orange. I do not believe you will find any to match.

    None, so you might as well go for the neon orange supercaz. Eventually it’ll mucky down and match.

    Black lock-ons with orange collars?
    I had red ones which matched may other red bits, headset, nipples, various bolts, cassette carrier, etc, should be doable

    Probably gonna end up grubby orange anyway so I’ll avoid but ‘Black with orange lock ons ‘ I like that idea……so……anyone know of anodized orange lock ons that are a similar orange to hope ?

    Get black grips and buy orange Hope end lock on thingies. The colour will match 😁

    Could try the rev grips from cyclorise. Pretty sure they do a black grip with orange collars.

    What russyh says, finishing kit should not be coloured. Especially all that gopping hope stuff! 🤣

    Can’t beat a bit of Hope purple shiny shine. It’s impossible to look more ridiculous than the person riding it, so go crazy!

    Got to agree with what people have said, coloured grips never match and look nasty anyway.

    Matching clamps however are much more subtle and do look nice in my opinion.

    I’m not a massive fan of anodised Hope colour matching stuff all over bikes. Looks like you’ve cycled through their workshop and they’ve thrown everything at it.

    But everyone likes different things – so maybe get some orange anodised lock on collars with black grips. I’m not sure if orange rubber grips will just look really grubby in short time.

    Tried this with some orange RF grips but it looked rubbish so I went back to grey. Hope orange is quite gold-ish anyway and most orange grips are more tangerine coloured. Keep it monochrome.

    Orange grips..,ladies will point at you & laugh, loudly.

    Go for black with the orange collar things & those very same ladies will plead for your phallus.

    Nice looking bike ruined by two rubber dildos stuck on the end of your bars!
