Mountain Biking - good grips

Recently bought some of these and wanted to recommend them as I've been suitably impressed

Odi ruffian lock-on - very thin with no annoying ridges or flanges, suitably grippy design and rubber compound, zero flex/squish, don't move when tightened down, just what I want from grips.

edit: what's the point of the flange on sunline grips?

what's the point of the flange on sunline grips?Like the flange on a moto grip - - to be a 'bumper' of sorts and a hand stop (makes sense I suppose with Sunline's moto roots). Of course they had to keep it low-profile with all of small flippy-lever things going on with a bicycle. And, I suppose it wouldn't be very grip-shift-friendly.

A new thread espousing their virtues even though they've been around for years and are popular enough to be considered the standard?

And while you're at it, a picture of a Nicolai with a plug for gearboxes would be nice too. :D

Aye, the flange seems a little low to be useful. Possibly the standard full height flange with a small cut away for paddle shifters might work better?

But then, I'm not needing to landmark my hands back after bar-spins or no-handers.

fair enough - thanks
