Huge upgrade from the textured grips, looks better and grips better

vraiment confortables ces poignées, mais n’aiment pas le contact avec les ronces en VTT 😁

Facili da installare e confortevoli sullo sconnesso

Equipamento confortável e com acabamento fantástico.

Very thick, resilient, silicon foam grips. Great for larger hands & really insulating you from the shocks & vibrations of the trail. Much better than the cheap EVA foam grips I was previously using. Would definitely recommend & I'd use them again if/when I need new grips.

Era una vita che cercavo un prodotto del genere. Sono entusiasta! In vari negozi in cui ho chiesto nessuno le conosceva.Montaggio semplice e veloce, è sifficiente bagnarle con un pò di alcool e scorrono nel manubrio; una volta asciugatosi, restano salde in posizione. Hanno un grip super e la giusta durezza. Il comfort è grande: ne ho provate di altre marche prima, con forme e diametri inferiori, nessuna mi ha soddisfatto come queste. Consigliatissime

Manopole per mani grandi, solo 4 stelle perché erano state conservate schiacciate e non sono perfettamente rotonde, forse recupereranno la forma corretta col tempo. Dal punto di vista dell'utilizzo, hanno un buon confort (ma sono meno morbide di quanto mi immaginassi) e un grip eccellente, anche a mani nude. Scomparsi i fastidi/dolori che avevo con le manopole standard. ATTENZIONE! Si infilano sul manubrio in 10 secondi se si usa dell'alcol come lubrificante. E non basta, bisogna essere veloci che -perlomeno sul carbonio- iniziano a "incollarsi" velocemente al manubrio mentre ruotandole si spingono al loro posto. Diametro da montate: 36mm. Col tempo vedremo, ma per ora soddisfatto. (non sono nere ma grigio medio)Aggiorno dopo due anni e 9000 km in mtb: davvero ottime! Le cambierei solo per la versione più spessa, le mega fat paw.

I replaced a set of Extra Chunky grips with these and was a) surprised at the large increase in hand comfort and feel, versus the small based on measurement) size increase and b) completely surprised at how much easier they were to install versus Extra Chunky grips, which I have on all of my bikes. Over time I'll replace them all with Wolf Tooth Fat Paw grips.The Wolf Tooth grips don't measure to be much larger in terms of physical size. Wolf Tooth says 36-37mm installed diameter, whereas ESI's Extra Chunky grips are advertised as 34mm. I haven't broken out the calipers (yet) but somebody is fibbing. The Wolf Tooth grips feel significantly larger and more comfortable. Worth noting is I wear Size L gloves, typically.The benefit I didn't expect but which I think was worth perhaps more than the more better grip size was the ease of installation. If you have installed The Other Leading Brand grips before, you know what I mean. I have tried both the dish soap method (don't go there) and alcohol and the results range from just being very difficult to desperately difficult. You'll make it work but chances are you will go thru a lot of drama to get there. The Fat Paw grips on the other hand were quite a shock. They *felt* like they would be as tough of a job as I expected given their rigidity and increased thickness. Not true! I did the usual alcohol bath inside and onto the bar, pressed on and got ready for the usual fight and ... poof done already! What? I thought I had another 5 minutes of cursing and grunting... Nope about 10 seconds and done. I bet I can even get them back off again without having to cut them off, which is the usual story with The Other Leading Brand.Here's a top tip: these grips are of course made of silicone. I spiral-wrap these grips using only gentle pressure with silicone self-fusing tape, many brands and colors of which are available here on Amazon. The spiral wrap pattern is exactly like you would wrap traditional ram-horn road bike handlebars. the self-fusing silicone tape fuses to the grips so it never comes off or moves. Also in short order it wears relatively smooth but still retains enough inherent stickiness to be a perfect grip tape. It also becomes a protective layer over the grip, and if you ever manage to cut up the grip tape, you just wrap on another layer in the opposite direction and boom... your grips are protected and like new again.
