Needs a little more work on Giant E-Bike

Great product. Comfortable and looks great. It's easy to set up and install if you pay close attention to what you're doing. Requires a slight adjustment (thickness) on the left side of the handlebar due to the electronic control panel.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Secret

and it was very easy to make

Very well done I had to change the length of one of them to fit the derailleur to my bike and it was very easy. My only complaint is that they aren't as black as the picture shows, but they still look great with a Brooks B67 saddle.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • A bit torn

Ok but I prefer GP1 handlebars for comfort

They were fairly easy to fit to my bike but I didn't find them particularly comfortable. I went back and bought a Brooks England GP1 Grip Black 130mm which is much better in terms of comfort and I think looks better on my Cannondale Bad Boy 1.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Beach cruiser grips

I had these on my beach cruiser and am very happy with these grips. They are unique and well made. They are so well made that I'm considering getting another pair to use on my bike. They may be expensive but you get what you pay for. I will also buy a Brooks saddle for my beach cruiser.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Negative experience

Terrible product design

I'm a Brooks fan and have ridden thousands of miles on their saddles and flimsy grips. I was attracted to this product because it can be made in custom lengths. Attempting to do this was so close to impossible that it was simply impossible. Once the needles were cut, the threads would not accept the nipples no matter how much I coaxed and filed. Putting the nipple on the thread (to rethread the cut end) was also incredibly difficult because when the needle was turned the head of the needle came

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Disappear

My arms cramped

I really wanted these grips on my bike. My Brooks saddle has increased my enthusiasm for riding more than any other upgrade I've made to my bike. Unfortunately I had to take them off due to hand cramps. Others have complained that the leather rings shift while riding and it really depends on the humidity. I live in New Orleans. When I installed these grips, the leather rings moved fairly freely. After a night in my garage, the grips were so swollen from moisture that the leather rings were nice

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Only available in black

They look good but the setup is full of drama

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 ableโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • -

Difficult length to adjust and impossible as stated

These knobs are difficult to adjust and cannot be adjusted to lengths under 105mm but over 80mm. To adjust, you need to cut the spokes and then file them gently so you can put nipples on them. The instructions suggest that you can file the ends of the spokes while they're still in the grips, but you can't do this without removing them and clamping them firmly in a vise. The correct way to cut the spokes is with a bolt cutter, which cuts the spokes cleanly, not with pliers as suggested in theโ€ฆ
