I just bought some spyder gels and they're pretty comfortable, but you have to have grip glue and/or safety wire. $13

i have "The Gripper" lots of people dont like them but i do. its really your personal opinion...i put mine on with motor oil but i hear of some people sticking an air hose in them and blowing them up and putting them on that way.

I have scott grips, seem to work fine. I recommend getting some grip glue. I have heard that if you spray hairspray directly on the bar then quickly apply the glue and grip, you should have no problem with the grip coming off.

Good luck

I run stock grips,

But here is how I put em on.

Wrap masking tape on the bare bars.
Put a little gas/kerosene/lighter fluid.......etc. In the grip shake it & slide it on.

When it drys its rock solid.

Found this out installing Golf club grips.

i dont really recommend using grip glue, every kind ive tried hasnt held the grip on very good at all... the hairspray or spray adhesive would probably work better, but i would try just using some spit to lube the grip when putting it on, then safety wire it down.. that should work:)

3M weather strip adheasive is the cure to slipping grips.

I have heard the spider grips are supposed to be awesome. I am ordering a set from C&D this week. Oh, and I also use the weatherstrip adhesive for my grips, it works great.

I ran renthals for years and thought there was nothing better. Before them I ran oury, scott, blah, blah,blah.


Spider grips are by far the best. I got blisters every time i rode with the renthals, but not anymore. I'll never use another grip..

i buy what ever is available, cuz i ride with gloves so i never really feel the grip anyways. Also ive never had a problem with grips slipping or coming off

I just got the spiders from C&D for our quads. I like 'em a lot so far. I've ried Renthals and a couple others, all of which seemed to wear out really fast. These spiders seem like they'll hold together much better and my girlfriend commented on how much she liked her new grips and how comfortable they are... when she finally decided to go riding again.
