Hope lock on grips any good / comfy ? Ride with my hands on the ends on the grip and find true double collar grips un-comfy.
Thanks

ESI Contour XC's for me.

I don't notice mine which I guess is as good as I can expect them to be. They're pretty thin though so keep that in mind

I thought they were crap - they offer no actual grip. Swapped them out for RaceFace half nelsons

I like them. Good grip without gloves as well.

They are some of the most uncomfortable grips I have ever used. Took them off after one ride. Good quality but seriously let down by being so thin and having very poor grip in the wet.

They are grippy, but I find them a bit uncomfortable compared to the ESI R.E. I had before. Also, if you do end up hitting something with the end of the handlebar, the endcaps ( which look like this:

) might dig into the carbon ( http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/hope-lock-on-grips ).

If your Hope grips ever fail and your testicles are de-gloved by your stem, spilling your sperm banks onto the cold muddy trailside then FEAR NOT because Hope will replace them free of charge (the grips, that is) NB:Postage not included.

Absolute crap with wet hands. So always wear gloves...
