Huh. Not for me.

I tend to think it's exclusively for the crowd that refuses to touch their handlebars without padded gloves (*coughroadies.. cough*). For some reason, translucent materials, at least from my experience, are never porous like cork. For gloved riders, this isn't a problem because they don't lose grip when they get sweaty. In fact, because the sweat can't soak into the material, these might last longer, stay fresh longer, and be easier to clean.

But because they're probably somewhat tacky and stretchy, at least at first, they're probably really easy to wrap and reapply.

I think the red and blue would look completely badass if you double taped the bars in that diamond pattern.

Looks like someone dipped the bar in mucous. Sheeit...I can do that at home for free.

... how much mucous do you have at home? I definitely don't have enough to dip bars in.

Yes, but wouldn't it be about 6 inches thick?

Oooo. Those are the sexiest looking BMX grips ever.

They look good, but I reckon your hand would slip up and down, and up, and down, and up, and down....
