I was in need of new bike grips as my old ones were sticky, torn and used daily.

Purchase:
It was quick and easy as expected from amazon.

Shipping:
I have amazon prime so it came in on the 3rd day of purchase. 1 day for processing, and 2 days for shipping. I must note that during the arrival of the package, no one was at my apartment. I live in a row of townhouses one next to another. Everyone in this complex leaving the house will walk through the same path. Ontrac, the carrier delivering this package decided to just leave the box in front of my door. Anyone could have easily taken the package and left without a trace. Luckily one of my housemates came home early to prevent that from happening.

Installation:
I knew what was supposed to be done to install these grips but for some reason I decided to do it the hard way. First, to remove my old grips, I literally just slit it with a blade and removed it from my handles. Installing the first side of the new grip, I just shoved it dry in the handle with a lot of force. It worked for about 1/4 of the way into the handle. From there, I had to slowly push and rotate the grip millimeter by millimeter because there was so much friction. I regret not wetting the inside with soapy water first. After 15 minutes of struggling, I finally managed to put in the first grip. For the second side, I decided to be smart and put soapy water into the grip. Sliding it in only took 2 minutes. So moral of the story... USE SOAPY WATER.

How does it feel?:
VERY COMFORTABLE. I've had these for 2 months now, and I use them everyday. They feel great. Firm but soft. Has a very nice grippy feeling to it. I highly recommend these if you are looking for new grips.

With the increased surface area of these grips vs standard round mountain bike grips, it makes the grip much more comfortable. I still use gloves with these grips, but they feel better either way, with or without gloves. If your grips are hard, worn, or need replacing, these are a good way to go.

Our 24" mountain bike received a new handlebar to provide more comfort than the original straight bar. {See Picture} The original grips were old and were torn so I purchased these and I am very happy with the result. A bit of hairspray was applied to the handlebar and inside the grips. The new grips slid right on the bar. When the hairspray dried, the grips were snugly held in place. The ergonmics of the grip is very comfortable. I am happy with the my purchase.
