Getting a bit of hand pain looks like ESI, something odd and ergo or Ourys are the standard answer, but anything else to consider?

Cheers

A springy carbon bar, try Mt Zoom riser with ESI chunky's.

Ergon. Adjusted carefully to keep the wrist unbent.

I hate Ergons.

ESIs are good, but most of my rigid bikes have regular lock-on grips and a big tyre at 20psi.

I like the non lock oury + flexi x-lite carbon bar

If your getting sore hands, maybe it's not the grips that are the issue, maybe rigid isn't for you?.

Ergons wrapped with roadie tape work well for me on a rigid.

I've got ESI chunkys on mine, had Rogues before and that was fine too. But it's all kind of the wrong fix imo, I reckon the most important thing for longer term comfort on a rigid is tyre and pressure, and maybe fork and bars. And the rider!

ESIs and a BIG (but fast rolling) tyre...take it from someone that's done horrible stuff on a rigid! And who knows you 😉

Ritchey WCS foam grips, started on my rigid bike with them then they ended up on all my bikes!

They were £3 when I bought mine in the summer though.

Onone foam grips, soak up a surprising amount of judder and are dead cheap
