What do you have for grips? I never thought much about it until my grips loosened so much that they now twist pretty freely. Looking to pick up some Oury lock-ons.

Oury lock-ons. I love them. My old grips not only twisted all over the place, but I like my brake levers in-board of the grips a bit, the grips would always move inwards and screw up my hand position.

I got the Oury's last year, they're already starting to show some signs of wear, but I think they'll last a bit longer. They're pretty big to fit my big hands and very soft and grippy.

I thought you had some ODI grips? Oury uses the ODI lock-on system, but are not the same thing.

That could be them too, I think the end covers have 3 letters written in white. I think I mentioned what I have on the forum somewhere, who wants to search my posts to find it?

I'll confirm what I have when I get home.

ODI Rouges:

...They are the ODI Rogues that I picked up at Country Sport going out of business sale for about $10...

Did you order the Oury's? What else did you get to use up the shipping costs?

Yup and the 661 knee guards. I paid extra for shipping - 2 day - cuz I'm an impatient asshole. :lol:

Specialized Rocca single bolt lock ons. They are light and actually have a normal diameter.

I can't fault anybody for riding Oury grips....they are probably on every other bike out there. I tried em once and found them way too soft and narrow. But to each his own.

I need to start looking for some grips. I notice my right grip was spinning a bit last night.

So, how are you liking the new grips Greg?

Love the Ourys. The extra girth ( :blink: ) took a bit of getting used to though... :lol: It's great that they don't spin and they are really grippy.
