I want to try some support for poor frail previously-broken wrists.
I tried these but they're too big for trail riding - they push the hand back and make brake reach difficult just when you need it to be immediate: http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product/gp1 I've put them on my pub bike, which is fine.
Anything else? I guess there are these http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product/gs1, it's hard to see how different they are, and they're pricey to take a punt on.
If you're near Leeds you can check these ones out

I'm not but thanks for the offer. Do they give more support than a regular round grip?
The Spesh look worth a punt for 8 quid, thx Mr for the link Normal.
I have dodgy wrists after a motorbike accident so tried some of the Ergon grips but they didn't really give any improvement over ordinary ones.

I had injured wrists or a while and found these of help, they give some decent support:

I've been using the Superstar Nomic ones, very good for what they do. I will say though that I feel they compromise my control though, I loose a bit I think because I can't fully get my hand round the bar or that the position needs to be bob on. Very minimal though and only when I would need to really move about the bike. I've just fitted them back on the fat bike for the Puffer where they will work a treat.
I'm using [url= http://practicalcycles.com/products/240506--herrmans-84b-ergonomic-push-on-cork-rubberised-grips.aspx ]Hermans[/url] on my town bike..

I use the Inform Evoke on the 29er. They are grippy and gives you good 'wraparound' to hold on and lift the front wheel.
I run Ergons on my flat-bar commuter (with bar ends) which have good support but aren't as good when you try to chuck the bike around, so suit a more 'passive' ride.
And I run Spesh BG contours (womens!) on my best flat-bar roadie and they are somewhere in between, but quite smooth so I'm not sure how well they'd do on an MTB.
@jedi I'm guessing you mean https://www.ridepdw.com/goods/cockpit/speed-metal-grips - they're gorgeous, have ordered a pair in chrome, for my trail bike as that's gorgeous and chrome too
and a cheapie pair of the Spesh Contour ones for my rigid SS.
thx all for your ideas.
yep them
