What kind of Grips do you have for your Riser bars?
I'm thinking about switching my bull horns to some low riser bars, but I'm having a hard time finding some Green grips for them... anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

Oury makes both neon green and a more forest-y green. If that doesn't whet your whistle they make white grips and RIT dye costs like $2.
Don't bother with BMX grips, they are always too long for risers and never feel right.

I have Ergon MP1's on my risers. They're amazingly comfortable!

Anybody know off-hand if ODI Ruffian BMX Lock-Ons fit the Nitto 259AA Riser Bar?

with some bmx grips, they make 'mini' versions.
for example https://www.odigrips.com/bmx_ruffian_lo.htm
comes in 130 and 143. that one is a little longer because it's lock on

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

I've used Ourys and the grips that came on my Swobo Sanchez risers... Swobo, I suppose? Anyway, the Ourys are better, IMHO.

I've been using the Big Cheese (red n black stars) on my risers... they fit fine but I've found they wear out quickly...
