Anyone one a photo of these grips? I'm color co-ordinating. :p
Seriously, I see that only businesscycles is carrying them and I wanted to check them out before I buy, especiallly yellow and orange. edit: oh I did find: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...143195512&rd=1 so I may have answered my own question.... |
it would appear you have answered it lala...:D
these grips come in 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm thickness. The 1.5mm Yoshidas I have were much easier to get on than the Soyo grips (which tore off a dime-sized old climbing callus during installation). They do feel nice! |

Who needs grips? Sounds like you've got 'em built in! Anyway, rubbing alcohol works wonders! Once it dries, they're on there! |
Yeah, it was time for that callus to go, anyways!
I had tried the half bar wrap deal on the drops, but it looks very bad! Hopefully, I'll be able to get the grips on! |

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.

Thanks for the tips! Yay for goo gone!
