I have Race face good and Evil grips have had a few sets. I like them but i want some lock ons for an easy life. Any recomendations or more importantly anything i should avoid?

I'm a massive fan of good and evils too! But also wanted lock ons. So you'll be wanting something nice and chunky. I really like these Bontrager Race Lites

On offer too, which is a bonus!

If it's chunky you need, On-One are selling the Oury lock-ons cheap.

Renthal Kevlar - super comfy and ultra sticky...

Wouldn't recommend the ODI Troy Lee Designs grips.
Maybe I need to MTFU or perhaps loosen my grip, but they give me calluses!

ODI Rogues! Big and chunky. Great grip and last ages before showing any wear.

I've only had them for a few weeks so can't say how durable the are but Raceface Strafe seem pretty good to me - chunky and grippy.

ODI Troy Lee Lock ons, super sticky, extremely comfy and have a square edge stepped design making it almost impossible to loosen the grip on,

I'll try and explain that,
its a bit like a waffle blocked design with the thinner end on the heel / palm area and the square stepped up edges laid up under the fingers, imagine running your hand down a fish scale and then drag it back up, kind of like that ?

+1 for odi troy lee grips, superbly designed and work superbly aswell, I suffer from pins an needles due to low potassium and these have alleviated this problem immensely, highly recommended.

Used Superstar for a few years. Like the colours
range and feel . Low cost with replacement cartridges but life is short.

Rogues for me as well- fat and sticky, lovely. Not for everyone though I'm sure.
