Grips that aren't grippy

[TomGeorge]

I want to get some, since I'm always moving my hand about on the bars, and I can't stand the feel of sticky grips like blunt and addict. At the moment I'm riding longnecks, and they're ok but not great. The only grips I've ever seen like this were in a little bike shop near me but they were for trials bikes and so had a tiny diameter. Anyone know what might be good?

most grips are sticky at first but once they are broken in they start to feel nice

 

[TomGeorge]

Not any grips I've ridden? Examples?

 

[Robert]

my addict grips aren't sticky
my odi's were at first but then i boiled them
my blunt grips were only sticky when i t was over 60 degrees outside
my animal edwins weren't sticky but they were slippery

my shadow conspiracy grips wer'nt but they died fast.

By not grippy I mean slippery. That's what I like. The blunt grips are hands down the stickiest grips I have ever ridden. The only way I can really explain this is I usually ride best with wet odi's, but in the wet I can't land shit all because my griptapes crap, so I want some slippery grips.

well what do you use to install grips so they slide on? That can make them stick. I like sticky so I use wd40 or hairspray. If you dont want them to be sticky just try not to get that on the outside if the grips. You can also use glass cleaner.

Foam district grips?

No, it's not that, it's the actual material of the grips.

And no, foamies will be destroyed within a week the amount of bartwists and barspin combos I do.

Get razor grips and rape them for a couple of weeks. Or get these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=40824 If not, just wrap a load of thin, black electrical tape around until you get you desired thickness.

Addict grips, plus they're pretty soft.
