Yup - that's why I alternate between lockons and foams. The foams are downright dangerous in the wet.Does anyone have problems with foam grips in wet weather? Ie, do they fall apart or become slippery?
Yeh they do get a little slippery. If you're wearing gloves, I don't find it too horrible or risky.Yup - that's why I alternate between lockons and foams. The foams are downright dangerous in the wet.
James just posted the following list on the FB group - you can drop into any of these stores to grab a pair.^^^Those Ozriders look like a good concept, being hexagonal rather than circular. How would I get a pair? LBS? The website is a little vague on details.
They look like Ritchey WC grips by another name, good but not a new concept,^^^Those Ozriders look like a good concept, being hexagonal rather than circular. How would I get a pair? LBS? The website is a little vague on details.

there has been talk of KOM stocking them, so drop in and ask if they've got them. otherwise you can do the direct thing if you need them in a hurry.what about NSW ?
yeah, it's a foam grip. i've run them in the worst wet/muddy conditions. no spinning, no issues. i just sprayed some deodorant (only aerosol i had handy) in them, slid them on and let it dry. they haven't moved.I'm keen on the Ozriders but is the comment above relevant to them? Are they foam? It mentions High Density but not what high density so I guess it's a foam grip.
Give us feedback Bodin. I think you will be happy. I personally think, these are the median between thick and thin, soft and hard.I've been indecisively switching between ODI Ruffians (more durable than foam, but thin and hard) and Ritchey WCS foam (comfy, but fragile) for the last couple of years.
After reading this thread, I'll be stripping the Rogues from my DH bike and giving them a run on the Stumpy on my next XC ride. It's funny - they're bulkier than the Ruffians, so I've always perceived them as DH-only grips, but it kinda makes sense to give 'em a try after all the feeback in this thread.
They can be ordered directly from the Oz Riders site - www.ozriders.com.auis there anywhere online that u can by ozriders grips ? I live in adelaide and have not found anyone who stocks them!
Hi all,
My name is James from OZRIDERS Australia.
I have had really good feedback with all of the grips and YES you can order direct though the website via the contact page. - Just send me an email.
I am a Melbourne based small business, and so do have a range of shops selling them in Melbourne.
RRP is $20 AUD each pair.
These Grips are much more resilient to wear and tear unlike similar products on the market -plus very comfortable.

^way too much stuffing around with the great potential to tear the grip or make the hairspray into a lubricant.Spray hairspray in the grip to aid sliding them on. When it dries it will aid in adhesion, when it is time to get them off, slide a screwdriver under the grip and spray hairspray. Do a lap with the screwie and slide the grip off. I believe it can also hold your hair in place, but I can't back that up!
