Grips - any recommendations

Post by Mav617 »

Okay, going to change the old (oem?) grips on my bike. Fancy some Renthal medium compound shorties but any suggestions welcome.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Renthals will feel good but wear quickly, as long as you are ok changing them every yr or 2 you will be happy

I have tried a few different brands (though not the Renthals which seem to be favourites with many) but I have been running Spider Slim LIne SLR grips (like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spider-Slim-Lin ... 1439wt_679) and am VERY happy with them.....

Cheers mate, look good but that supplier doesn't ship to the UK.
