Recommend me the best SOFT grips I can buy.

[gsp1179]

I bought some ODI Longneck grips awhile back, and while they're very durable grips, they aren't very cushony, and I think I fractured my wrist the other day because I landed front end heavy off of a large jump.

Oh, I'd also like them to be shorter than ODI Longnecks, because they don't fit on stock bars very well. They have about a half inch of space left over in them and its kind of annoying.

cant you just cut the grips down?

 

[gsp1179]

Yes I can, but that looks ugly, and I'm getting a new pair for my backup scooter anyways.

Well if you want soft grips buy foam grips.

 

[Aaron]

Foam grips.
Animal Edwins Probably one of the more popular BMX grips.

 

[gsp1179]

Well if you want soft grips buy foam grips.

I forgot to mention: I want grips that'll last for more than a week.

 

[koenscoot]

I know what you mean foamies just wear to the shape of your hand and it feels all un-co

 

[Lil Steve]

Oh alright. I have Animal Edwin grips and they are really soft once you ride them for a week or 2.

 

[koenscoot]

yeah I have odysy team and brand new they are plastic like and after a week or so of riding they are nice and spongy

They're kind of on the long side at 135 MM though.

I'd prefer something 120-130mm, since anything over 130 is too long for stock bars.

then steal a trolley cut the bar off and make longer bars to fit ur grips.. dur

 

[gsp1179]

that sounds difficult and illegal.

 

[koenscoot]

you can buy 7/8 tube from most metal distributers. get that at th lenght you want and bolt it inside your t-tube.

 

[gsp1179]

i'm just sticking with the stock bars atm, so if you know of any grips that'll fit them you're more than welcome to let me know.

 

[koenscoot]

I think you should get over it if it looks bad and cut the grips down.

 

[gsp1179]

I think you're getting off topic. Thanks for your input though.

 

[mat]

softer grips won't help you not fracture your wrists, u need to learn how to land properly

 

[gsp1179]

I know, it was an exaggeration.

They'd still help a bit and probably tear my skin less.

the best grips I've had are probably Bubba Harris Signature grips from Lizard Skins. They're race grips but there nice and padded and perfectly grippy. I have them on my street bike and ive down like 5 foot dropps to flat and landed flat from alot of gaps and they are perfect

some of the primo grips are really thick so they obsorb alot
