these gotta be the best grips ever!

1. ive had these for 5 months now and they still havent ripped or anything!
2. they come with bar ends :lol:
3. there really cheap
4. grip like hell and come in diff. colors

[nutsgeezer]

not really much of a review :?

[Smudge]

yea thats not very convincing. Put something in there like how comfortable they are. Compare them to other grips youve had. What are the barends and do they always come with the grips? What other colours are there? That would make the review better.

[leon_luxton]

I also have these grips.They are so comfatable and when u had then for a few moths they start to feel better as they mould to ya hand shape(kinda).Dont become sticky or slippy when wet or sweaty.Black bits dont come of these grips like i found they did with my old haro grips.The bar ends are plastic and always come with the ODI longneck grips.However i took the barends of and never used em.I have had mine for about 7months or so and ride nearlly everyday for at least 1 hour and whole day in summer and they are only now starting to wear down but still feel great.I have used haro grips,odyssey kedda grips and few other crappy ones from halfords and these are by far the best grips i have ever used.Mine are in black so dont know if the different colours vary in matrerial etc...
They only cost about £8 or $10 so go buy em :wink:

^^^thats more like it

[reyesjr02]

i use ODI longnecks too. theyre great. ive had them for about four months, and theyre very soft. theyre not showing any signs of wearing down or ripping. they only took about 2 days to break in too. before these, i had a pair of odyssey grips that lasted about 3 weeks. as soon as these grips wear down, ill be getting the exact same kind.

All these good reviews! Now I am thinking about getting them for my new bike :)

ODI GRIPS 4 EVER

[Bladerboi2k4]

the colors that they come in are blue, red, and black. extremely comfy

[reyesjr02]

everyone says these are great.....i wonder why more people ride dont ride them

[Bladerboi2k4]

maybe because they havent discovered them yet :wink: there pretty long.

[nutsgeezer]

I prefer shadow grips, although I may get some longnecks for my new flatland bike.

I USE TO RIDE ODI LONGNECKS FOR YEARS and i refused to buy anything else. I seriously have probably gone through 10 pairs over a number of years. They last longer than most any other grips while at the same time the mushroom pattern provides comfort, prevents calluses, and helps cushion landings. But there was one problem i didnt like...
One day after getting some new bars i realized they seemed a little too long since they hardly left any room for a brake lever. I also started to notice that the excess grip was rarly ever used. So after the brake lever issue all i wanted was the same grip but a little shorter. I loved them so much that i even wrote ODI and asked if they would make a new version called SHORTNECKS. Seeing it wasnt going to happen, i then discovered FIT team grips: The same thing as Longnecks but a little shorter (perfect AND recommended for shorter bar widths with a brake lever)

I will now be buying Fit Team"mushroom" grips for life!
(The best grips ever)

[nutsgeezer]

how come you didnt just cut your longnecks down?

[reyesjr02]

the odi longnecks dont have a mushroom pattern. your thinking or the odi mushrooms. and yeah....if you didnt think about cutting your grips down, your an idiot

[rocket]

an idiot huh? well genius, maybe i dont care to have a ghetto looking bike with "cut grips" Does that make sense to you? maybe next time before you open your mouth calling people names try using your brain.

Its obvious you can cut grips, if your too cheap to buy what works.

[reyesjr02]

i stick by what i said

[rocket]

i stick by what i said

Stick by this: you just made yourself look like a big idiot because ODI Longnecks do have a mushroom pattern. What the hell have you been reading? Funny you dont even know what your riding.

[Street Cowboy]

i think cut grips look ***. im with buddy here, the right part for what you want to do.. you like short grips then buy short grips .. thats why there is such a diversity of products out there. so people dont have to look jerry rig everything to suit them.

i think cut grips look g*y. im with buddy here, the right part for what you want to do.. you like short grips then buy short grips .. thats why there is such a diversity of products out there. so people dont have to look jerry rig everything to suit them.

exactly.

[nutsgeezer]

I think does it really matter? jeez people getting all angry about nothing.

and yes, they do have a mushroom pattern.

what are you saying you **** im not f@cking angry ill show you f@cking.... allrigh i have nothing. never mind

[nutsgeezer]

^^lmao.

[Bladerboi2k4]

on danscomp they say that the odi longneck grips were modeled AFTER the mushroom grips.[/img]

[I)esiI)eraI)a]

I love these grips.
They are so smooth and they last forever (in my case they do :D).
And they look good but thats not important.

[nate-14]

i think reyes ran away

[ozz]

i recently got these grips, and they felt crap for about the first 2 rides, but now i love them. i guess i just had to wear them in.

[fairtrade]

HAHAHAH - bladerboi2k4. That just goes to show how old this thread is *cough*fitbikeco909*cough*. My Longnecks stick like glue in wet weather, these grips take a beating.

[fitbikeco909]

haha yeah, i cant believe this thread actually came up again. haha not only that but, i still have the same longnecks. also there JUST starting to wear.

[Louis K]

I've been riding these grips for a month now. To tell you the truth I hate them. When your hands start to sweat they slip like hell and when your done riding I literally have black hands. I hate them i'm buying new grips.

[StrickerGNYC]

Yeah these are the best grips ever period. I used to love Primo Chad Degroots but these are my new personal favorites. Also had the Fit team grips that look like ODI's but trust me they are not. Those things must be made out of a different material because they wear and tear in like a month. I had my ODI's for 4 months now. No signs of wear, comfy and affordable but I haven't seen a pair of grips that could hurt your pockets yet. Anyway decent review!!

[gdude335]

great grips.
