Grips (Lock On)

[mtb1611]

Just curious as to what type of grips y'all are running. The stockers on the Trance are up for replacement and I'd like something comfy without being too thick and cumbersome. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Ben

Esi racers edge. Comfy, grippy and low profile. They're also really light if that's important to you.

Are these lock-on, JTmofo? From what I can find they're not.

Not lock on but once on, they aint going nowhere in a hurry.

Ruffians, ruffians everywhere.

Lock on is just a mounting system. Call me soopid, but why are you sentimental about how they mount up? !!!?

If they feel good and stay put what difference is it whether they use lock on or not?

ODI Ruffians... always get em

Renthan Lock Ons. I find they don't develop any play between the grip and collar since it is a one piece construction.

Using ODI Ruffian on my Trance.

Was using Hope SL lock-ons for the DH bike, but swapped them out for the fatter ODI Rogue.

Oury grips with ODI clamps, better than holding penises.

Who mentioned sentimentality? The thread title was unambiguous; thanks for your post, if you've got nothing else to add, move on.

Incidentally, why was this post moved? I wanted the perspective of fellow 29-er riders, hence my posting it in the 29-er section. Moving it has done what exactly? Sensible responses have been replaced by comments relating to urine and genitals. Thanks to whoever moved it, keep up the good work.

For something not so thick the odi x-treme are pretty good. I found them better than the ruffians. They had the flange too which I liked. I just stopped using them because I prefer something thicker.
