Comfortable Grips

[spanos]

I meant to add that I've a set of ergon p1 copies made by decathlon that I think are excellent. And way cheaper

Fine on my commuter but no good when offroading imho

 

[soundwave]

Comfortable?

 

[soundwave]

i wear gloves so there ok for me just depends how soft you like them i guess

Keep us posted Bob - let us know how you get on

Will do they’re expensive at £31 but if it helps me ride for longer in comfort it will be worth it . The wife has similar on her cube access but without the mini bar ends and she likes hers but it did take a while to adjust the palm grip to her liking .

The grips on the 2018 Cube Reaction Race are very hard and uncomfortable which is why I wear gloves. I did buy some softer grips, a bit like the mushroom type grips I had on my BMX as a kid in the 80's, but haven't fitted them yet.

I have fitted bar ends which I find gives me a more comfortable riding position, allowing me to alter my grip and stretch my back a bit. I had to cut the ends off the original grips to fit them..

No where to attach a mirror..

 

[The Bear]

I don't think I could get used to a mirror on a bike, plus i'd still want to be doing shoulder checks.

Can’t beat a look over the shoulder

Popped into Halfords after ordering online to collect these Ergon GS3’s - fitted on the spot f o c and 10% off B S C discount

Rode remainder of 5 miles home - nice and comfy, really make a difference

They look good. Is there an option to fit a bar end mirror?

There is a removable end cap - so I’d think so

 

[Parky]

These look intersting, but how do you get the original ones off? Is it a cutting job?

The guy in Halfords squirted some cleaning fluid under the original grip, twisted / pulled and off they came with not too much bother

Once you remove the end cap are the end bars still secure?
