Anyone making thick grips these days?
I was reading that thread about the 1" diameter bar and got me nostalgic for the Nate Hanson grip.
-
Oury
OOKI
Bizhouse
Any grip out there + Compressed Air
-
are dildo grips a thing yet? lil pink penishead bar ends
-
A thread after my own heart
I love the old A Ross grips when they are new. I had 2 levers so they don't stretch and tear super quick like they do to other people, but they do wear fast. I got a whole box of the fucking things when I heard they weren't being made anymore
-
Hanson grips were the best.
-
Tried the Cult x Vans?

Man I love those grips. The adam banton speaker mesh grips are awesome too
-
Tried the Cult x Vans?
I gave those a go when they first came out, weren't they pretty average sized? I don't remember them being particularly thick.
-
Deluxe is making their grips again, they're pretty thick.
FBM Double Fisters too.
-
So stoked on "a sickness for the thickness."
-
Those god awful odyssey griswald grips
-
As I mentioned in the other thread I used to ride 1" bars too and loved it. I ranted to my friend about noone making them anymore and he cracked "Why dont you just put something underneath your current grips, like tape?"
I guess bar tape could be an option, if you can make it even. Shall try it sometime.
-
Martinez and Nathan grips were both pretty thick.
If you can find Fit Inmans, those are thicker also.
-

The shovelhands are the good word. My only gripe is that the outside edge of the grips taper off very slightly. Maybe only for a single CM or something. But that's a spot where I park my hands pretty often so it's worth noting.
Those Cult AK grips are actually a little bit thicker than the vans and share a similar level of comfort, too.
-
BSD Forever grips are thick and don't crush down to a smaller diameter when riding.
Decent grip pattern too.
-
United Williams grips are decently thick. I really liked them
-
If ya don't need a flange try Hoder's S&M grips out. Wouldn't say they are overly thick but they are a good size and have lasted me months. Super comfy too.
-
ODI has a decent outer diameter no?
I got a new pair of solid grips but couldn't use them because their length is not long enough.
Gotta strength for the length. Not quite that ring a ding ding that sickness for the thickness had.
-
longnecks are quite chunky when brand new but they squish down quite a bit once theyre worn in
have you considered wearing gloves to add an extra layer of material and padding between your hand and the grips?
-
I don't like buying leather. Unless there are useful non leather gloves these days, I'm fine with my odi that have been on 4 different bikes in their lifetime.
-
might be an idea for other people who dont mind some leather
-
i thought the sean sexton grips would be thick at a supposed 31 or 32mm diameter according to Dan's--but they're really not. Quite thin feeling actually
Hoder's felt thick tho
-
Eastern Fuquay grips were pretty thick, 34 or 35 mm. I bought 3 sets a couple years ago, now ya cant get them. I wish i had bought more.
-
Definitely the FBM Double Fisters, also the Cult AK Grips are quite thick.
