(I do realize someone just did a review on this, but I dont feel the review did the product justice and also the name was wrong, and I wanted to clarify them
This time I am doing a review on the Fit Bike Co "Team" Grips.They costaround 13bucks and these are their original grips, as they recently came out with the "Key" grips wich are ribbed but have the Fit logo all over them.


Basically these are just your average ribbed/mushroom grip. They were soft, comfortable, and nice (cant say that I get sweaty hands so no report there). However after only a day of riding i noticed they had already started wearing! So eventually after2 monthsthey ended up like the picture below, with a completely wore spot where my pinky and ring finger meet my hand. (NOTE: almost every grip i ride goes bald in that spot eventually, its something with the way I ride and put pressure on that spot, and it probably hasnt helped that Ive got 180s dialed so it may have wore faster)
What you see is the mushroom part wore completely down to the middle of the grip, and that = uncomfortable and hurts, so I rotated it. not really a big problem, and kept riding them, though after 3 days i can already see small wear starting on the new spot. ButI guess I cant complain too much considering how soft and comfortable they are.


Overall I would reccomend this grip if perhaps your not very hard on grips like me, or your just looking for something really comfortable.
Pros:

+ comfortable

+ average price

+ free fit logo plastic barends
Cons:

- wears down pretty quick
Rating: 7/10 for the wear.

Cost: about $13

hahahah lol they are like the same as my review except yours is much better lol i cant keep a conccentration and im trying to revise sooooo. yeh i liked the grips. i am fairly hard on my grips and my eastern ID's wore in a couple of weeks literally perhaps thjey arent the same grip in a sense that they are made from differnent rubber. i would reallly disaggreee with them prematurely wearing as they are the longest lasting grips i have ever had

2 months for grips is 'wearing quick'?
the grip doesn't even look too much worn..
friend rides those grips and they seem to be great, doesn't show any wear after a few months even

[turndown]

it was in that one spot, and it starts to hurt after awhile because its wore through to almost the bar.

maybe i could just cut that part off and make the grip shorter?... ha

[shadoconjay]

i had these grips and they last forever

[pelmeney]

I agree, it wears down really quick, i bought the fit team street and had these grips for about 2-3 months untill they really wore down. Overall I think theyre good grips.. theyre gripy, comfortable, and they dont slip that much.
