Review on πŸ–οΈ Upgrade Your Grip: Discover the Stromberg Carlson FP1001-R Lend-A-Hand Foam Grip by Demetrio Lowe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good to use replacement OEM

This grip is a bit difficult to put on. Following the package directions, I sprayed Simple Green on the metal railings first and also coated the inside of the new handle. It took about 5 minutes to bend the handle half an inch at a time trying to keep the entire handle moving rather than stretching or tearing it. The instructions suggest using an air compressor to blow air under the handle. It wasn't very comfortable for me so I don't know if it would make things easier or not. Once the handle is in place, the entire assembly looks like new. I have used black pipe insulation in the past and have found it unreliable and somewhat unsightly. I recommend this replacement grip.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • High price
