FAQs

Are these grips suitable for all types of cycling?

These grips are best suited for flat bar bikes like mountain bikes, hybrids, and commuters, where enhanced comfort and palm support are beneficial. They are not designed for drop handlebars.

How durable is the dimple surface pattern?

The grips are made from a long-lasting, hard-wearing material designed for durability. The dimple pattern is integrated into the material for sustained performance.

Can I use these grips in wet conditions?

Yes, the dimple pattern provides a good surface for grip. However, like all grips, performance may be reduced in very wet conditions. Ensure they are cleaned and dried after wet rides.

What is the main benefit of the raised central area?

The raised central area is designed to improve palm support, reducing pressure points and potential discomfort during longer rides.

How often should I check the tightness of the lock ring?

It is recommended to check the tightness of the lock ring periodically, especially after the first few rides, and before any long or strenuous cycling trips.

What tool do I need to install these grips?

Typically, an Allen key (hex wrench) is required to tighten the single lock ring. The size may vary, but 4mm or 5mm are common.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or rotate on the handlebar

Ensure the single lock ring is properly tightened using the correct tool. Check that there is no debris between the lock ring and the handlebar.

Grip material feels sticky or degrades

Avoid exposing the grips to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Clean with a mild soap and water solution and ensure they are dry.

Difficulty sliding grips onto handlebar

Ensure the handlebar end is clean and free of obstructions. A small amount of rubbing alcohol or grip glue can sometimes aid installation (ensure compatibility before use).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced palm support reduces fatigue on longer rides.
  • Dimpled surface offers superior cushioning and vibration absorption.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Lightweight design does not add significant handlebar weight.
  • Simple installation and maintenance.

Cons

  • Single lock ring might require precise tightening to ensure security.
  • May not offer the same level of customization as dual-lock ring grips.
  • The dimple pattern might not suit all rider preferences for grip texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Slide the grips onto the handlebar ends. Ensure the 'Clarks' logo or the raised central area is positioned for optimal palm support. Once in place, tighten the single lock ring using an appropriate tool (usually an Allen key) until the grip is securely fixed and does not rotate. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the handlebar or the lock ring.

Compatibility: These grips are designed to fit standard bicycle handlebars with an outer diameter of 22.2mm, which is the common size for most flat bars, mountain bike bars, and some hybrid bike bars. They are not typically compatible with drop handlebars or oversized handlebars.

Care: Clean the grips periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could degrade the material. Ensure the lock ring remains clean and free of debris to maintain its function. Allow the grips to air dry completely before use.
