Don't go near the Specialized ones. The one allen bolt is feebly small, and just not up to the job
Was going to recommend the Specialized ones. Not had a problem with ours, running them on four of our bikes and seem fine to me.
+1 on recommending the Specialized ones. I've used them for 4 years of so now and have not had an issue with them.
In fact, I've just bought 2 more pairs. One pair is already stuck on my Inbred and the other pair due to go on my Stumpjumper when I get it washed, stripped down and re-built.
Raceface do one, but the end bung kept falling out of mine. They felt nice though.
The new ODI AG1?
Shimano/Pro used to do an Atherton one.
I just used the ODI ones I already had: I removed the lugs from one end of the grip with a hacksaw and fitted a suitable (flexible) bung in the end of the bar instead of the solid aluminium collar.
Many thanks
+1 Specialized. Slim, simple, comfy, grippy, light and pretty cheap. No issues with mine after 15 hard months.
Raceface do one
It's called the half nelson. Just ordered a pair so will report back when they arrive..
I bought a pair of Giant grips with closed end and ergon type palm wings. 3 rides in and very comfy.
