FAQs

Are these grips suitable for mountain biking?

While durable, these grips are primarily designed for commuting and touring. Their ergonomic shape and material might not provide the aggressive grip or shock absorption required for intense mountain biking.

How do I determine the correct grip for my bike?

These grips fit standard 22.2mm handlebars. Measure your handlebar diameter at the grip area to confirm compatibility. They are best suited for flat or riser handlebars.

Can I install these grips myself?

Yes, with basic tools (an Allen key) and following the setup instructions, installation is straightforward for most cyclists.

What is the advantage of the UV + Abrasion-Resistant Nylon?

This material blend enhances the durability and lifespan of the grips by protecting them from sun damage (UV) and wear from friction and handling (abrasion), ensuring they maintain their look and function longer.

How do the ergonomic grooves improve grip?

The strategically placed grooves on the underside of the grip provide tactile points that increase friction between your palm and the grip, offering more secure handling, especially in wet conditions or during vigorous riding.

Do these grips come in different colors?

This guide specifically covers the Black variant. Please refer to product listings for availability of other colors.

What is the expected lifespan of these grips?

With proper care and normal use, the durable construction is designed for extended longevity, significantly outlasting standard rubber grips, especially due to their weatherproof and abrasion-resistant features.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or slip on the handlebar.

Ensure the aluminum clamp set screw is tightened sufficiently. Check that the handlebar diameter is standard and the clamp is correctly positioned.

Difficulty sliding grips onto handlebars.

Clean the handlebar surface. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated grip lubricant (which will evaporate) to the inside of the grip or the handlebar to aid installation. Ensure the clamp is fully loosened.

Material feels sticky or degrades over time.

Avoid exposure to excessive heat, solvents, or petroleum-based products. Clean with mild soap and water only. Check if the UV resistance has been compromised by prolonged extreme sun exposure.

Water seeps into the clamp area.

Ensure the clamp is tightened firmly. If persistent, a small amount of silicone sealant can be applied *carefully* around the outside edge of the clamp, avoiding the screw mechanism, after installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure handlebars are clean and free of old grip residue.
  2. Loosen the set screw on the aluminum clamp using an appropriate Allen key (usually 3mm or 4mm).
  3. Slide the grip onto the handlebar, ensuring it is oriented correctly for ergonomic comfort.
  4. Tighten the clamp set screw securely to prevent any movement. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

These grips are designed to fit standard 22.2mm diameter bicycle handlebars, common on most commuter, touring, and city bikes. They are not compatible with drop handlebars or oversized handlebar sections.

Care:

  • Clean the grips regularly with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Dry the grips thoroughly after cleaning.
  • Periodically check the clamp screws for tightness, especially after significant use or exposure to vibration.
