I know its a personal thing but anyone have any awesome new fangeled (hmm autospell shows newfangled) grips that work in most conditions? I usually get something like Scott's waffled grips in case of mud, but still gets loaded and slippery. Anything better? (besides velcro) Ya, I know its like which oil or tire is best :dhorse:

I'm using Odi Rogues. Nice and soft, grippy. My other go to is Scott or Pro Taper Pillow grips. I'm going to try the Oury on my trials bike. Pro Grip 714 for street bike.

With stinking arthritis grips take on a whole new meaning.

I gotta get out a little more, I've never seen those before. (had to do a net search) Maybe stop in at some cycle shops too! The little pillows look like they might work good.
Any one have feedback using the pointy grips? https://alexnld.com/wp-content/uploads/ ... cdc409.jpg

I had been running pillow tops for 10 years, immediately switched over to ODI Rogues about 2 years ago after trying them out on my mountain bike. The pillow tops would wear out in about 6 months or so while I'm still on that first set of ODI grips on my Beta.

I've dunked the bars/my hands in the mud during races and it doesn't seem to make much difference to grip.
