i've got the champ grips on one of my bikes and i really like them. one word though, if you've ever had tape on your bars then make sure you get ALL of the glue off. i managed to get all of it off one side of the bars, but missed some on the other side, idiot that i was. i struggled for over an hour trying to get the grip on the side that had glue on it, even after recleaning the bar, cause some of the glue worked its way inside the grip. i managed to get a dime sized rubber burn on my hand trying to get the grip on there. it sucked and i was cursing the day i got the grips, but now i like em. i guess its common knowledge to get the glue off, i knew it, but i still managed not to make sure it was all off.
