It seems you're right - handlegrips seem to be a very personal thing.
I can't say that having leather is an entirely practical choice for a mucky mountain bike, but they certainly sound like my kind of thing
I'm struggling to find something at my LBS, as I live in a pretty rural area (lots of high speed hills
) so it's a very small choice. I'm going into a major town this weekend, so I should be able to find something nice there.
Can anyone recommend any major brands that might be any good? As far as I've seen, Selle Royal's choice only seem to be these shaped things.
Thanks,
Buggington
