The Wool Grip

I have rarely to never been as excited about a bicycle accessory as much as I am about wool grips. They never get sticky or sweaty. They provide diameter and cush and grip. If you can tape over them if you like, but no need to cover the whole thing. You can add rubber bands for more grip. Get fat ones. In hot weather that may help, but most of the time, no.

Plus they're modifiable in length, and easy to install, and are the cheapest, or at least among the cheapest grips you'll find outside of a flea market, and they're the most enviro grips around. You don't even have to kill the sheep to get it. These are made in Michigan. Assorted installation images below. In these images, we show the 4 x 4.5" rectangles being cut to 4 x 4" squares. Keep them longer if you like longer grips, but on swept back bars, if you go with 4-inches and scoot the brake lever and shifter all the way back,  no gaps, you'll maximize the forward-grip space, which..counts for something, too. Anyway, these are "semi-DIY," and if you're that kind of person, you'll find this a piece of cake. Assorted images below. We have these in stock now.
