Review on 🔝 Enhanced Performance and Style: Brooks Leather Ring Grips - Elevate Your Cycling Experience by Adam Rossi

The grips are big, easy to grip and look good, almost great. (However, they don't match my Brooks saddle even though they are the same color. The saddle is darker than the grips.) The only thing I didn't like about these grips was the fit. Both the inner and outer rings were too tight for my handlebars. I spent almost half an hour trying to get them to turn on with no success. I tried squeezing and loosening the nipples and that didn't seem to have any effect either. In the end I was only able to attach them when I used a flathead screwdriver as a wedge to force the metal ends to open wider. If you have the same problem, please feel free to put a screwdriver in the gap between the metal ends, it won't hurt. In fact, one of them was so tight that I had to use two different sized screwdrivers one after the other to open the ring sufficiently. I ended up putting them on, but it took me several hours of sweating and swearing. Also, I'll confirm what others have said about the rings slipping a bit when you squeeze them tight. It's just a small shift, but it's noticeable. I don't think that's enough to create a real problem, it's just annoying that I've paid so much for pens that don't work perfectly. (Maybe if I squeezed the nipples tighter it would stop the shift, but I've read a lot of horror stories.)
