Mojoman Posted July 10, 2012 Share I use a cheap pair of lock on grips and then wrap them with the tape you get at sportsmans for squash rackets etc (can still remove the grp if you need to without having to unwind tape). Works well and you can make the grip as thick as you need it. Wears quite well even with gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted July 10, 2012 Share I really like the ESI chunky, but I really dislike the short lifespan they offer when they make contact with mother earth. They tend to tear or gouge easily. I have a set of ok'ish WTB grip on the SS and they are ok. Had to glue them though to stop slipping. On the Shova I have a nice set of lock-on Spesh grips off a bike on the LBS floor and they are really nice with good feel and feedback through the bars.

Caerus Posted July 10, 2012 Share I have a bit of an issue with my ESI grips, they may have became contaminated with brake fluid, and as a result they not longer "grip". I've tried washing them, but I still can't get them to stop rotating as if it were a motorbike accelerator. Driving me mad and its fairly dangerous at the same time.
