Playing around at Witfontein.

Might be a good idea to make the end cap flange larger so that it covers the entire end of the grip.

I wouldn't really call it a problem, after a few rides there will be slight indentations where you grip the hardest, but that could even make them more comfortable for some, as they conform to the shape of your hand. Don't expect them to last as long as rubber grips though, they do tear much easier. As for other silicon grips I can't really say if they would do the same, but for a quarter the price of ESI's its a no brainer.

Yes, especially where the thumb grips. Also pretty hard to clean, actually has to be scrubbed well with proper soap to get them respectable after a dirty ride.

Witfontein this morning. Not great pics but was a little too tired to care after the climb. Great singletrack downhill after the climb though, built and maintained by George Hillbillies. The start of the Montagu pass is just visible in the second pic.

Harkerville red route today. 23km of mostly amazing single track through the forest and some fynbos, all the way to the cliffs and back. Pics taken at the rest stop about half way. Well done to Cape Nature on maintaining the trail, well worth the trip and the R40 permit fees.

Garden Route Trail Park today. Had a look at the loop where Matt Macduff fell from the sky.. and it is moer high! The park is awesome in every way! And down at the Karatara river before climbing back up to the awesomeness of Forest Frenzy and Madcows.

Indeed!

I could do with some skills...When you coming down to the garden route? Garden Route Trail Park will make a cool venue! Otherwise I have to try and teach myself and that could be dangerous...

Make that a summer cabin in the woods. 1 degree is a little on the cold side for me!

One of those days... beautiful, calm and sunny, trails slightly wet and grippy from last night's rain, perfect for riding... But laziness prevailed so I took this one from my porch.

If they stick as well as ESI and other silicon grips, you don't need lock-ons. The clamps won't make them stick any better and with no clamps it allows for a longer gripping surface and lower weight. A little less bling but much more practical.

This thread is catching... Just ordered 3 pairs as well. 3 Pairs of silicon grips for R395 including the cheapest courier delivery (R35.00) I have seen at any online store!

I've also been wanting to get rid of the blue on my Trance but have never gotten around to it. Since you've done it once, the second time is always easier, so cut me a set too!

On the way yesterday from Gouritz river mouth to the Reins private nature reserve gate.
