Please recommend some grips. Nothing too thin, I like/need a bit of cush, have some odi rogues but they're a bit too thick. So inbetween.

Also no ergo grips, tried them, suffered and they put too much pressure on my carpal tunnels.

Thanks!

Superstar actually make really good grips, loads of colour options and they also do lock on collars, good price too.

I've used them for years now, they do various styles so you should find something to suit.

I've just got some ODI Troy Lees and in terms of thickness, they appear to be mid-way between the Rogues I had and the thin Spank grips my bike came with. Pretty comfy too.

I am still liking my ESI's here too. Really cushy. Good grip even in wet.

ODI Ruffians are on every bike I own. The ODI Troy Lees are a little thicker, and the quick fondle I gave them was rather exceptional; it's what I'll be buying next.

Another vote for ESI chunky. I think that lock on types look better but far prefer the comfort of ESIs. Of the lock ons I've used I always found ODI X-Trainer the most comfortable

I'm similar. Rogues and Ourys too thick, Ruffians too thin (I rarely wear gloves so need just a little squishyness). ODI Crosstrainer are a nice in-between. I might try ODI Sensus (wider) or Superstar Half Flange (cheaper) next.

I hated my ESIs. Plenty of likers here I know, hence why I tried them but they were horrible.

I use the Spesh single lockons now, which are excellent. I like them thin though.

Another vote for the chunky ESI's. I originally got them on recommendation from a friend when I first got a rigid SS; I can't see myself using anything else any time soon.

Had a feel of the Odi Troy lee grips on a bike over the weekend. Felt really good, think I will buy a set of them next time round.
