Super sticky and thin!

If you like firmer grips, this is amazing! I used to have to wear gloves all the time to avoid slipping on other holds, but they are very sticky and provide a good grip. It's like Velcro on your hands with or without gloves. Sweaty palms and such.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Modern

Carefully. Clean screws!

Handles look great! But if you plan on putting them on and taking them off more than twice, you're likely to break the screws that tighten the ring on either end. At this point you won't be able to attach your grips unless you can find those very thin specialty screws. Replace the screws and this product gets 5 stars!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Secret

Look great until you spend a week in the sun.

I received these buttons almost a month ago but I only installed them last week. The bike has been locked in the trunk on my porch for the past week. Today I went for a walk for the first time and noticed that both handles were already discolored where the sun was on them. I knew the pink would fade over time, but not in a week.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Good but not great

The plugs fall off!

Used once and the end caps fell off. Should have read the bad reviews first. The screws do not tighten and the end cap is easy to remove. But I still decided to give them a chance. They also have this weird rubber lip on both ends. They were tacky, comfortable, and really liked the color. Got these to match my Racing Face pedals. But useless without a plug.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

The orange faded very quickly :o(

The grips were fine. My hands were so sore.. I could barely bend my fingers to decide these pens weren't for me.What worries me the most is that the amazing orange color (which is why I bought these pens!) fades very quickly - after a few rides or so - and they also show dirt.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Minor issues

Hoping for more

First, these grips are great for those looking for a slimmer grip. I used Half Nelson for a while and noticed some hand fatigue, then switched to another brand and decided to try Raceface again. The double clamp and the integrated end cap are great. I noticed a few reviews that said the end cap fell off. It is not true. These people don't know how to attach knobs and adjust brakes/shifters. Pros: - medium stickiness - double clip - strong end cap - great color (neon orange) - domed shape thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic controls
