Another grip thread!

[3viltoast3r]

Sorry guys,

If I buy ODI rogues, Does that have the ability to replace the rubber once its worn out and keep the locking system or is that just for the Ruffians?

Also correct me if im wrong but rogues are the thicker but softer model? Are their any other thick, soft, locking on DH grips out their? I have had my fair share of thin grips (ruffian imitation/Sunline half-waffle) but I think im after some big thick grips as im having trouble keeping hands on the handlebars, as funny as that sounds...

No you can buy replacements for the grip I am pretty sure. Saw them in a shop once.

Rogues are awesome. I run them on my DH bike.

Ok thanks

Are they thicker compared to others? Or have I got the wrong impression?

 

[Adamski]

They're definitely thicker, probably a few mm thicker. Makes a hell of a difference. Helps with arm pump.

the rogues are thicker than ruffians....oury grips are just as thick as rogues but even softer and have a decent life span

I would recommend some Oury lock on grips. They are a nice fat soft grippy grip that I have used on every one of my bikes over the years. Assortment of colours. $40. Good for people with big hands.

Oury lockons only come in black or red. Black is the go IMO.

 

[pipes10]

the oury lock ons are available in red, blue, green, and black

 

[Damienp]

Really!!!! I only knew of black and red in the lock ons. Thats awesome news!!!

Thanks for the info!

what do you guys suggest with guys that have small hands?

 

[Damienp]

Just go the ordinary ruffians. They are quite thin.

 

[Jimass]

Rogues are the best, they just don't wear out. They're just sooooooooooooooooo good.

Get them.

 

[3viltoast3r]

Well I ended up buying the rogues, and I do prefer a thicker grip but they may be just a tiiny bit too thick... I imagine it will wear down nicely soon.

i have some lizardskins peaty lock ons are awesome. good grip and soft as well. ridden a bike with ourys and theyre also very nice

my choice is lizard skinz logo lock ons.....nice and tacky, decent life span, and comfy

I've run Oury LO's, Giant DD LOs, Ruffian type grips and am now running LizardSkins Peatys and have to say I rate them the best.

My hands are about average size so I found the Oury's too fat when riding with gloves

 

[weeman80]

i reckon i might try the ruffians, the ourys i find are to thick get a bit to much arm pump.

 

[BUSHPIG]

Get some ODI -Intense. They are heaps grippy in the wet and are a really soft compound. Less arm pump!

 

[skinnybeans]

Kind of OT, I lost one of the end caps for my oury lock ons, anywhere to get replacements that are compatible? (and look cool)

 

[Damienp]

Get some ODI end caps or straitline ones. They aren't cheap though. I haven't seen any of the ones that come with the oury's though. If you find them let me know as i have lost one of mine, will save me some cash unless i spring for the odi or straitline ones...
