I'm going with MAXM bolt-on grips for my current rebuild as they should be both comfortable and secure.

Just hope they don't wear out as quickly.

if you want a nice, comfortable grip that gives you lots of control, go for a specialized enduro. if you want pure sticky and really thin, go for ODI ruffian lock-ons.

Just want a soft grip that you can use with bar-ends. I switched from a gel glove to a Specialized Radiator full finger glove and it don't have the padding I am looking for, So I thought I would change the grips.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Oury's yet. All I have used for as long as I can remember.
I am not a fan of lock-ons, they tend to get loose when worn. The allen screws are also really easy to strip out.

Still kicking.
Those little screws won't strip if you only tighten them to the recommended tension and by using a 2.5mm hex wrench. For bar ends, I wouldn't want to use a lock on, I'd go with the regular Salsa Juegos De Fuego grips.

I think there's a lot of people who'd wish that ODI would make their screws out of steel. ¬.¬
Pretentious people...yeah eveoyone needs to use the right tool for the right job and it will work... but I believe that ODI made those screws aluminum just because they knew they were easy to strip.
And if you take them on and off enough, even with the right tool, the goddamn screw will strip. The biking industry is a *****. They want your money. Why preach to them? Preach to the sport, not the businessmen.

As long as they're not the ones with the integrated bar ends I think you're still okay.
