Review on ๐Ÿšด Ergon GP1 Ergonomic Lock-on Bicycle Handlebar Grips: Ideal for Hybrid, E-Bikes, and Mountain Bikes - Regular Size, Gripshift or Rohloff/Nexus Compatible - Black/Gray by Jonathan Davenport

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor Design - Game Error: (

One thing I liked about this set is that they don't wrap around the palm of your hand like some other brands, making them more suitable for hands of all sizes However, there were a few quirks that I didn't pay attention to: The clamp is on the outside, which means it doesn't tighten well if the handlebars don't go all the way through, which can mean you have to move the brakes and shifters afterward inside to clamp these grips securely.Another thing I don't like about the outside clamps is that your palm rests on them.They protrude over the rubber when pressure is applied, creating a pressure point at the worst point .They also feel a lot colder than the rubber which I've noticed in cooler spring weather.They're ok but I'm still looking for my everlasting grips.3 stars after my first brief session with i I don't know, but after using and x for months, I downgraded my rating to one star. They just don't stay secure even when the hex screw is fully tightened. Not only do they still spin with little weight, but one of them broke loose while I was going up a steep hill, injuring me as a result. They got worse and worse even after regular tightening. The comfort issue is worse than I initially thought. The metal clip on the outside not only creates a slight pressure point, but also the hexagonal hole is sharp-edged. My hand tries to plunge into the hole and the sharp edge scrapes it. If you use them without gloves, your hand is more likely to bleed over long distances. I'm very confused about this because this company has made grips in the past that have been pretty good and didn't have any of these design flaws. But they definitely missed the mark and they obviously didn't use them extensively before launching them. You should be ashamed of this product.
