FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Knuckleduster Grip?

The main advantage is the combination of DEITY's TRC rubber compound and an ergonomic design featuring recessed half-waffles and palm support, which offers superior grip, comfort, and control, reducing hand fatigue on long or rough rides.

How do I install the tapered inner sleeve?

The tapered inner sleeve requires tapping the end of the grip firmly with a rubber mallet or a block of wood and hammer until it is fully seated against the handlebar. This creates a secure, locked-in fit.

Are these grips suitable for cold weather riding?

The DEITY TRC rubber compound is designed for durability and grip across a range of temperatures. While performance can vary with extreme cold, they are generally well-suited for varied conditions.

Can I use these grips on an electric bike?

Yes, as long as your electric bike has standard 22.2mm diameter handlebars, these grips are compatible.

What is the difference between the half-waffle and mushroom ribbing?

The half-waffle pattern provides a surface for your fingers to grip, offering control. The mushroom ribbing (though not explicitly the primary feature here, elements are combined) typically offers a softer, more cushioned feel. The Knuckleduster strategically integrates these with an ergonomic shape for balanced grip and comfort.

How do I clean my Deity Knuckleduster Grips?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty on these grips?

Please refer to Deity's official website or your place of purchase for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels loose or has play

Ensure the tapered inner sleeve is fully tapped onto the handlebar. Re-tap if necessary. Check that the lock-on clamp bolt(s) are securely tightened.

Grip is difficult to install

Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or a grip tack spray to the inside of the grip or the handlebar to aid installation. Ensure you are tapping the *end* of the grip to seat the internal sleeve, not pushing the entire grip on forcefully.

Grip material feels sticky or degrades quickly

This may indicate exposure to incompatible chemicals or extreme conditions. Clean the grips and ensure they are not exposed to solvents or excessive UV light. Contact customer support if degradation is premature.
