Get a grip!

After several rides on my bike I realised the grips on the bike where chaffing my hands up something crazy! I decided to make a change and orginally picked up some gel gloves.

The gloves worked fine but i find them a little uncomfortable.

A buddy of mine recommended some grips called ESI Grips from http://www.esigrips.com/

I got a black pair and went about installing them. I was going to try and keep my old ones for later us but decided not once i tried to remove them! In the end i just sliced them off with a knife.

Installing the new grips was pretty easy. I soaked the bar with window cleaner and then sprayed some more inside the grips and slide them on. They slipped on easy enough, took a bit of a shove to get them on.

Once they were on I took them out for a spin. They are super comfy and absorb alot of the shock when riding on bumpy roads.
