Review on GA2 Fat Ergon Grips by Carlos Jass

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great grip but damn pegs fall out all the time

I ride trails regularly and bought these for my Trek Fuel. My friend had this problem but thought it was specific to his bars. Even if you hit a tree, the end cap will fall out. If you walk the trails twice a week, this happens very often. Every time my friend and I approach a tree, we have to stop and wander around the neighborhood as if looking for a lost contact. So annoying considering the forks to replace are $10 a pair and it happens so often. Fork issues aside, these grips are amazing. I can ride them without gloves but they get very slippery when you start sweating. I usually wear gloves. Then they immediately stick to your hands like glue. I've had standard Bontrager grips before and it's a HUGE difference. I immediately feel like I have a lot more control. Highly recommended in terms of grip and control, but be careful not to literally hit anything while riding. The plugs are bound to fall out and you have to stop and look for them or hope you can find a replacement somewhere in stock.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • So like that
