Ergon GP1 Grips

[drummerbod]

Fitted these 6 weeks ago. Supports my palms and wrists and makes the whole ride more comfortable for my hands. Important to get the angle right. The instructions suggested a particular angle and it wasn't far off for me.

Very good quality and easy to fit. The clamp is excellent - not budged once.

Can be had from £17-18.

That`s weird.... I was looking around on ebay this morning and the very same grips caught my eye. They look similar to the grips on my mrs Subway and they are very comfy.

What size did you get?. A seller have them in a size small for £12.99 +£2.99 P&P and a size large on auction for £9.50 at the mo with the £2.99 P&P.

Both my touring bike and my mountain bike ate fitted with these grips and I love them, but after more than 10,000 miles of use on my touring bike they are nearly worn out

As mentioned though you do need to them set up at the correct angle and ideal for roost of us with dodgy wrists.

I have mine combined with some SJS Ergo Control bar ends which work really well for me.

Now they are interesting...

Yep and for me, they work better than the combined similar ergon gp3s because they come down lower giving available great hand hold that allows me to put the ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel area into a nice gap...

11 ops and major nerve damage. Damaged the order sheath of the ulnar nerve and instead of losing feeling it is too sensitive! Picks up muscle activity and pretend is passion instar of muscle movement... These grips and bars ends have been wonderful for me.

That is an awful injury and I wish you all the best. GWS.

Ordered the grips, thanks

The Mrs suffers from wrist troubles, doesn't sound as bad as some above 'tho. I was going to try some of these on her bike, seen some on fleabay from the far east under £7, others at £30 I'm a big beleiver in "you get what you pay for" but how can you tell the difference between the two. Has anybody on here tried the cheapie ones?
