Review on BV Handlebar Bicycle Mountain Downhill by Darrell Shreves

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I really liked these pens

I really wanted to like these knobs because I thought the design was cool and I liked the green locking rings which perfectly matched the accents on my 2018 Giant Trance 2. The rubber itself seemed very comfortable, but I can't say for sure because I returned it before hitting the road. I had to send them back as I couldn't get them to snap. Whenever I tightened the locking rings, they would disengage from the grips. I also don't see how I could use end caps on the handlebars. They were the same diameter as my bar grip sections (22.2mm) which meant I had to pull the grips away from the ends to install the cap, essentially using just a locking ring. Even with both locking rings, the grips do not stay in place, so I cannot recommend these grips for any bike with a 22.2mm handlebar.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • The list will be long.
