Flange or Flangeless?

Its all about personal feel! Ride both and see what you like. I'm personally going to switch to flangeless just to see what it's like but I'm apprehensive about it :/
 
I could care less but im riding snafus, which have the tiny, rock hard flanges and they look sick so i leave them

i think odi's look better flangless tho

the purpose of flanges is to keep your hands protected from the brake lever on a bike. you dont need them on a scooter since there is no brake lever. therefore, there is no point in leaving them on. it looks crappy.

Na I like my flanges. They suit my scooter I guess it just depends on what you like. They also help me catch my bars easier...

flanges get in the way of my tucks, my barspins, and my bartwists. three of my fav tricks, and they get in the way of more.

I like flanges, but all the grips I've gotten lately have been second hand/didn't have them in the first place. Otherwise I'd be rocking them.

I hate them. I always cut them off. Without them your scooter looks smoother because there are less unnecessary things sticking out.
