Product Review - ProGrip Foam hand grips

Postby ty » Mon Aug 02, 2004 12:36 pm

A must for anyone regularly doing long trips.
I found a set at Central Coast Performance Cycles for $10 - their last set in stock.
When he realised I didn't have an air compressor he fitted them gratis - took 5 minutes with an air compressor to remove the old ones complete and put the new ones on. Would've taken me an hour to cut the old ones off and slowly feed the new on. Kudos to Pete at CCPC.
Anyway, back to the grips - I had them fitted 20 minutes ago and loved em as soon as I put my hands on them. Nice and soft, and they make the handles a bit thicker - which fit my hands better.
I've had these before on the GPX250, and it must be noted that the grips can get water logged in the wet - they are foam after all. But they're not too bad even then, and despite the water logging they're well worth the regular comfort factor.
If you do long trips - get some.
