On One Half Bob foam grips, way better than the default Wazoo rubber ones that offered little grip in wet conditions. Quite comfy too.

Five squids two summers ago, currently £7, but that might be from the weekend price hike on everything (as far as I can tell) to cover the "free postage" that would normally cost at least £3.95.

ODI Ruffians. Rogues are good too.

Anything without a collar on the outside.

Like Deathgrips, but the plastic sheath inside seems to crack on them, which turns them into a throttle. ODI Elite Pro lock ones are really nice, and wear in great, but expensive, Joystick Binary's are nice & soft too.

Renthal Super Tacky push on's are nice, now it's no so essential to have lock on's, as clamps are split on everything 🙂

Want to try them, love the Kevlars apart from the colour

Easton Lock on in the fat diameter. (Now sold as Raceface Grippler)

I was looking at Ergon GA3s in the shop today. Felt nice.

Currently on Deathgrip race's, comfiest, grippiest grip I've used so far

-Odi elite pro's, comfy, could do with being thicker, lump at end of grip digs into my palm

-Ergon GD1, too firm, not that grippy when wet

-Egron ge1, nice shape, need to be thicker and stickier

-Specialized enduro xl, good thickness, a little hard and not that grippy

Renthal Super Tacky push on’s

The colour gets a bit more muted once you get a bit of sweat and mud on them. Slowly switching my bikes over to these instead of the lock ons.

As above a half lock system is my preference.

So either RF half nelsons or my fav the DMR death Grip (you need to properly push / wack them on to stop to much of an overhang which causes the inner to snap IME)

I just went cheap with the last set of lock on grips I bought and went for Uberbike. You can pick the colour of the collars and the grips separately if bike matching is your thing (mine are black and black - how boring).

Oury Loc-ons and I like them a lot.

However I'm slightly tempted to try a pair of the £1.20p foam grips I bought off amazon for my daughter's bike just as a bit of a summer experiment, they might just be cushy enough for gloveless use...

Gone through loads, Renthals, loads of the ODI ones, lizard skins etc. Specialized SIP grips are hands down my favourites and they come in some truly spectacular glitter colours this year!!!!
