it may sound like a dumb question but i got some new grips(renthals) and they WAY too narrow... and for some reason it feels like they've killed my throttle control, i dunno if they're just uncomfortable or what... just wondered if anyone else has ever noticed anything like that... and what grips you guys like.... i'm thinkin bout just gettin stock ones again

 

i run renthal full diamond med. compound. have ever since i was about 10yrs old racing motocross. dont think i will ever use anything diff. unless they stop making them.

Renthal diamond mediums all the way.
Glued and triple wired.

 

mine are starting to get tears in em, so im gonna need some new ones. are these renthalls diamond med. somethin or other's cheap?

 

I use the Renthals as well but there is absolutley no need for wire.. Just put them on with some brake cleaner and they will NEVER move.

 

brake cleaner?!?

 

Yea. Take your old grips off and clean the bar and throttle tube with some brake cleaner... Then spray a good amount into the grip right before you slide it on. Slides right on then squeeze it a little.. Let it sit for an hour or two and your grip will NEVER come off, move, slide, nothing.

 

If you ever meet me you will see why I do that. I find a way that works, is normally overkill, but it works so I stick with it.

 

spider grips

they are the best grips ever!! they really are!! once you use em, youll never go back to another brand!!
i wire them also, and they actually have groves for the wire. i love the feel of a wired grip over a non.

i swear by em, and have em on all my bikes

i just use some adhesive spray i'm too cheap to buy brake cleaner for grips


hey, you ever square everything with that deviant guy?

 

the renthal mediums are the ****. i wont use any other grip.

 

tag half waffle softs!!!! are the **** but i ended up doing the med/firms because i cant afford to put a new pair on every other weekend

 

Hrrrmm... Might have to give those a try next time.

 

maybe its just me but the diamond ones feel too narrow... i miss my old waffle grips... think i'm gonna go back to them!

no wire needed. i only safety wire my MX bikes. i dont use brake cleaner though, i use spray paint. they slide right on, it dries quick as hell, and they are never movin'.

 

Spray paint is dirty. Go with the brake cleaner next time. I guarantee you'll love it.

 

I have rentals on my r6, on the ol r1 i have Haro BMX grips, and they are the ****, but gotta wire em, and a dab of clear spray paint and they're solid.


Wear out a little to fast though

 

ok status report: imreplacing my tag half waffle softs today a wore through them in, in 3 weeks i think im going to put firms on just for the wear factor alone.

 

Renthall Soft/Medium full Diamond - for sportbikes, not the dirtbike ones.

 

i love my renthals. way better..
