Grips for large hands
Hey Everyone
I have larger-than-average male hands and holding my grips right now is almost like holding a pencil. uggg
Looking for larger rubber grips in a 31.8 diameter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Still kicking.
Matter as well go overkill and recommend ODI Oury's.
If those are still too small, you matter as well get the ergonomic grips.

Thin logo grips = 28mm
Thick logo grips= 33mm
Big 'S' grips = 31.5mm
Twisted waffle = 31mm
Half-waffle = 31mm
Logo grips in thin are very thin - - too small for even my relatively small hand. Probably be good for a female with average-to-small hands. Even though the thick logo grips are the largest, some complain that, because the rubber compound is so soft, they feel a bit 'squirmy' to them. Although the twisted waffles are the same diameter as the half-waffles, they will feel larger because the rubber is harder and less compliant - - they have a moto compound and were made to give more traction in wet/muddy conditions. The Big 'S' grips give up 1.5mm to the thick logo grips but have an excellent, 'sure' feel. You would have to try them out to see if they are large enough for your hand though.

I've got big hands, and the Ergon GP-1s did away with my problems, and helped the wrist pressure, at the same time.
