I use lock on Ergon GP1 small grips on 8 of my bikes already. But on this Mongoose i built up for winter use, i wanted to make use of the slide on grips to avoid shelling out another hunk-o-change for another set. This is a knock around aluminum frame bike, and i had already put on some nice parts i had laying around. (Shimano Deore FC-M730 tripple crankset, Thomson Elite 50mm stem, Shimano Deore XT SL-M730 thumb shifter set and same group brake levers, derailleurs and Bottom Bracket, and a nice backup Shimano FH-M730 hubbed wheelset with Araya RM-20 rims)
So i already pretty much upgraded most of componants to a solid and functional platform i am well familiar with using backup parts i already had. The original grips were one thing i could actually "live" with! :-)
