What grips are you running?

[Castle]

easy answer, what grips are you running?

What's your favorite?

[Mr Tiles]

demo missles...my favorite eva!

[Cru Jones]

Rubens and Doyles. I've ran Missles before, too. Loved em. I like any grip that is long. I can't stand short grips.

[sb317]

Ran Doyles for a while. They felt good but I wore holes in them pretty quick. Running Demolition Teams right now. They are on their third bike and I'm just now getting good finger indentions in them.

[manhattanprjkt83]

this is a good thread i am in a grip funk...not sure what i like anymore.. hahha

[ballaholyk84]

I use the Odi Yeti Lock-ons. Only grip i will run.

[seth505]

Ive been running fly rubens on my hardtail and dig them

[ReVolVeRage]

Edwins are fantastic grips if you ride without gloves. Odyssey's new Aaron Ross grip is awesome, similar rubber to Oury, but without being sticky. In addition, they are thinner than Oury's, I believe longer, and they're KEYBOARDS

Rumor has it there's a tailwhip button on there somewhere. They are cool lookin'.

[BikeSATORI]

still love my old ABC ed's. very soft, but come apart easy.

Just picked up some Duo Homans 'cuz they looked kind of similar to the ed's. They aren't as soft but I still like'em.

Also have some Mutiny grips too, they are really spongy and thick, pretty nice. I got the flangeless ones (although I just cut'em off regular grips too).

Tried Rubens, but didn't realize at the time there are different durometers and I got the black ones. They are too hard for my taste, didn't like'em.


I used to rock odi lock-ons on most all of my "mtb"s because of the ease of removal, but in the last couple of seasons or so I've been slowly reverting back to reg. rubber grips. My ridiculous habit for speedholes seems to hold them on nice and solid too (I hate throttle grips), but we'll see if they shred them any faster than normal... I tried to smooth down and de-burr all the holes.

[pnj]

ODI Longnecks. Only grip I run.
On my mtn. bike I have whatever, but I just pedal around on that, I'm not stunting...

[jasride]

SE Racing stretch grips.

[D.E.T.]

Demolition Team, on my 20" and 24".

I rock these. I need to get another set for the mtb.

[Cru Jones]

I rock these. I need to get another set for the mtb.

I had those for awhile, I liked them, but I wore them out pretty quick.

Here's another question. Who wears gloves? I used to never wear them, then for the past few years I've been wearing them all the time. I recently tried riding some park without gloves and it felt good when my hads were dry, but sucky after my hands got sweaty. I think I'll keep them for dirt because I like the hand protection when I bail.

[cmc]

FLY Ruben grips size Long. the best.

[r464]

Lock-ons of some sort on every bike...

[brycexlighthall]

Primo Martinez

[sb317]

Here's another question. Who wears gloves?

Always. I never know when I'm gonna bail and possibly gash my hand. My hands sweat a lot too so I need them for grip.

[Mr Tiles]

I quit wearing gloves a while back. I don't know why...

[dexter]

jimmy levann's love em. def getting the ross grips next for the tail whip button

[veilsidefred11]

i tried aaron ross's grips and they are really nice but the are slippery

i tried cranmer and they are very hard, they are painfull

i tried hoodstoot and they are comfortable but not durable

i am riding demolition team grip and they are the best
-durable
-not slippery
-long
-not as big as corey martinez's signature grip
-comfortable

[duck]

I rock Specialized Enduros.

No gloves.

[A Grove]

GLOVES. ALWAYS. and ever since I was shown the light... Gary Young ODY's. It was love at first grope....

[DirtBag]

Lock-ons of some sort on every bike...

Word.. I have these on my park bike:

http://online.qbp.com/6SPsvm45/prodl/HT9078.jpg

And the non-BMX style on my DH/FR rides...

[Windowlicker]

spank lock ons
they were like 20 bucks and are lock ons,
they work and are comfy

[FlyinPolack]

oury lock ons

[BikeSATORI]

yeah gloves here probably at least half the time. I used to commute daily on my bikes, and would usually forget gloves though.



but another question, how many people rock the Flanges?
I cut mine. Get rubbed thumb knuckles with'em, and don't have any donuts, haha. So I just slice'em off.

[DirtBag]

I like the flanges. I get re-acquainted with hand position instantly with them..

[swerve76]

I have some ODI lockons on the mountain bike, rubens/flanges on the molly, and edwins/flanges on the subrosa.

I wear gloves. Riding "feels" different without them.

[sittingduck]

Gloves always for downhill, sometimes for street/park, sometimes for DJ. If it's real hot I try to get away with not wearing them, if it's real cold I wear them for everything. I like lock-on grips mainly because you can't fill them with dirt when you crash doing djs.

[sealclubber]

demolition teams. been rockin em since they came out years ago. nice and fat and squishy and they get real nice and sticky when you sweat on em

[drt_jumper]

GLOVES. ALWAYS. and ever since I was shown the light... Gary Young ODY's. It was love at first grope....

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/aigman/dj/DSC_0005.jpg

I second this....I have these same grips and absolutely love them....the feel great with or without gloves

[demo 9]

only ODI rogues-all bikes

[formermtboarder]

bright green gusset grips. Ruffian pattern, there you go.

[ebrider510]

i used to be really picky about grips so i have tried a ton of them. haven't actually owned all of these but some i like a lot are the Ed's, broken in Ody teams(at first they hurt like hell), Rubens in the lighter colors, Primo Martinez, longnecks, Skadow lil/ol dirty's, Shadow Banger, Lizard skins logo or whatever are pretty nice, and of course OURYS!

sometimes i cut my flanges and i wear gloves when it's cold or if i'm on dirt. i need a new pair that i can start wearing all the time.

[Cru Jones]

I like the flanges. I get re-acquainted with hand position instantly with them..

Same.

[t1maglio]

I ride Fits on all my bikes. Used to be a big fan of the Ruffians when I first started riding. I like thin grips, with traction, nothing crazy, ribbed for my pleasure.

I ran the youngs for about a month and then they ripped in half, not impressed.

And gloves, used to always wear them, but that thin feel, about 5 winters back I just stopped and never went back to them. In the summer I just rub my hands in the dirt and get them nice and dry :-)

[nj82tj]

I just bought a set of these for my bike. I just liked the design. They are Eastern Skull grips. http://www.danscomp.com/367046.php?cat=PARTS

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/nj82tj/EasternSkullGrips.gif

[pnj]

Damm, how come I never get email replys from this site? I get like one in every 200 posts....:(

re: gloves
I prefer bare skin on ODI Longnecks but when my hands sweat I have to wear gloves or I can't hold on. So it's usually no gloves in the spring/fall and gloves in the summer and winter for warmth..

[Savage_Animal]

spank lock ons
they were like 20 bucks and are lock ons,

I have those too, but they wear down really fast.

I have also tried the sunline grips but they too wear down fast.

[cranberry]

Gloves = ALWAYS. I crash too much not to wear them!
Flanges = I leave them on. Just a personal thing.
Grips = park/street I tried Josh Strikers. Too slippery
My 08 Jane came with Eastern Mushrooms stock. I love 'em. Gonna go back with them when these wear out. Perfect mix of diameter and cushiness. Is cushiness even a word? If not, it should be!
DH and AM rigs Both have ODI Ruffian lock-ons

[jeff da grom]

http://online.qbp.com/6SPsvm45/prodl/HT9078.jpg

And the non-BMX style on my DH/FR rides...

I have the regular odi lock on rogues on both my dh and my dj bikes... awesome... they last and are very comfortable.

always gloves... i bail way to much to not use em.

[ZHendo]

stolen money grips, they are fantastic. they work great without gloves, but my hands are sweaty within 30 minutes after riding so i need to wear gloves anyways. it doesn't hurt to have them on when you bail, which on my bmx is a LOT.

[sokoloka]

Fly Ruben Longs - 155mm if I remember correctly.

Awesome grips, even awesomer if you boil them. No complaints!

[Castle]

does boiling them kill their life span?

I always wear gloves....

I run the ruffian/ruffian mx on my mtb's

I'm running the s&m logo grip right now on the hardtail.. I don't think they are gonna last very long at all, not that impressed. I like the feel of the thin grip, but the outter layer is already seeming like it's peeling off....

I picked up a set of Ed's and lil dirty's to try....

[mntbiker2]

who rides with grips these days anyway? i just get some electrical tape and i am off riding! :p

[Axis]

Nice! Haha

I rode the animal edwins for awhile and those held up great. Right now it is the eastern skull grips. They aren't too bad but I am looking forward to switching back.

[eaterofdog]

I just ordered the Stolen Money grip. I am looking for a good thin grip as I like to wear gloves.

[WestCoastHucker]

odi ruffians all the way around. i'm a little dude w/ little hands...

and i always wear gloves...

[bcd]

i was using some soma track bike grips 6.75" in length no pading
https://www.bti-usa.com/images/thumbnails/medium/sf/sf639.jpg

then i got some cushie sunlines
http://www.sixsixone.com/media/store/product/450-05.jpg

always gloves, more for diging then riding.

[Mr Tiles]

I'm ordering clear demo missiles today...

[Leethal]

Shadow Bangers in the thick version... next will probably be the new We the people All Day ones though...

Gloves when it's cold, bare when it is not.

[MC peepants]

i just put some Homan grips on my bike and though similar to edwins the feel good especially if riden without gloves.

[L train]

Has anyone tried the Bubba Harris grips? I thought they felt pretty good, but thats just feeling up someone's grips in staging.

[v-digit]

just ordered my 10th pair of edwins in the row..... and some aaron ross grips to try out....

[Leethal]

Your from NYC what else you gonna run...:clapping:

[Mr Tiles]

I changed my mind about the clear missiles and wound up trying the long necks. I've been missing out, that's all I'll say...

[v-digit]

I changed my mind about the clear missiles and wound up trying the long necks. I've been missing out, that's all I'll say...

long necks look like the grips that came stock on my Apex. might even be the same exact grips - they feel pretty dang nice.

the reason i keep going back to edwins is because they feel so damn nice.... i've tried other grip or two.... didnt feel them.

[Leethal]

Missing out on changing the color of your hands.

[Mr Tiles]

Missing out on changing the color of your hands.

:huh?:

[Leethal]

They turn your hands black...

[Mr Tiles]

so does smoking crack...lay off it...hahahaha

I'll get a good sesh on them this week at No-Name in g-vegas. really pumped on this trip...

[bcd]

just ordered my 10th pair of edwins in the row..... and some aaron ross grips to try out....

I have some Ross coming.
They gave me a good idea
for the paint on my dh helmet

[A Grove]

just ordered these today...
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/images/odi-xtreme-lock-on-grips.jpg

[Stoked]

fly rubens are nice once broken in. also had odyssey jimmy levan grips for a couple years on my bmx. bought mosh eddie c grips for when i get new bars. i guess i like thin grips.

[Castle]

a grove, those looks pretty good, might have to give em a try on the squishy bike.. let us know what ya think once ya get em on.... and have a few spins on em...

[A Grove]

Aye - I'll give a report after rays ;) So far, ody gary youngs and ODI oury lock-ons take the cake for me.. Rubens slipped far too much and didnt do well with my gloves... and ruffians are a BIT on the small side for me.

[ServeEm]

I rock S&M logos, no break in period needed. No flange or gloves.

Gloves make my hands sweat. If my hands sweat w/o gloves I can rub em dry on my pants and be all good.
