[Review] Shadow Lil Dirty Grips

[bikerinthebuff]

Article from BMX-Zone.com, http://www.bmx-zone.com/en-article-id-492.html

First off,I want to sayI bought these grips about a month ago, maybethree weeks.I ordered them from Danscomp, paying $8.99 for them plus shipping.I would like to say right now DO NOT GET THESE GRIPS!!!. They are such a scam im not even joking.I hated how they felt, they were sorta hard. then they started literally flaking off, and then the just tore right off. I'm not hard on grips and this is what I get in return.These have got to be the worst grips I've ever owned. They're not worth it.

[BMXpunk21]

They arnt hard, they're actually quite soft in my opinion.
But yes, they wear pretty badly.

[HeaTreatedGoodness]

[yamahayz]

they suck nuts. ive got them on my macneil bars and by the end of the day i end up with more grip material on my hand then on the actual grips.

[ghostship]

you guys have the same experience with the shadow ol' dirtys?

[ReturnToSender]

you guys have the same experience with the shadow ol' dirtys?

I would imagine they would be the same seeing how ol dirtys are just a bigger circumference than lil dirtys

[dkrider1229]

i rode thses grips i kinda liked how they felt but they were a bit skinny, no wored on the wear because i only rode them on my friends bike

[NIGGLIT]

you guys have the same experience with the shadow ol' dirtys?

I have the ol'dirty's. And i love them. I'm hard as hell on grips and they lasted me two months(i'm on my second pair)

I def recomend the ol'dirty's.
I did ide a bike with the little dirtys and they were really hard, and a bit to thin for my style.(bighands)

[JonJon4420]

i had my animal edwins for about 3 months and they just started balding real bad if grips last more than 2 months its a good deal still cheap 10$

[JonJon4420]

i cant edit ^^^that up there don't know why but im double posting dont give me an infraction...


just wanted to add i got some shadow fingerbangers,, nice n thick for guys with long fingers. in green look durable ill check back in two months..

[moddersunited]

my ol' dirtys are soft as hell had em for 2 weeks riddin on everyday and no wear at all

[ATP]

I had them for 3 months had zero problems, I though tthey were comfy and deffinatly not hard. Passed them down to my buddy hes riding them and they are stretched out but still no wear on them. Maybe I got a random good pair.

[grix]

I have the Shadow Ol' Dirty and find them very comfortable. No wear after 1 month.

[piratepants]

which are more standard size? lil or ol? i mean which ones are the same size as most other grips?

[I love bmx]

i just got oddessy civilan bars with the gum ones, they are really soft, they haev a weird feel but i knd of like them.

[pandora95]

I own the shadow bangers they feel great but now im riding with a 2 piece grip cuz they wore off so quickly.

i dont know about that the bangers are pretty sweet in my opinion = /

[k2boards0690]

these grips suck my wore out and tore after liek a month

[bmxkills]

I ran mine for almost 2 yrs, and I ride a lot... I still have the grips on my old bars, and they still hav ea bit of life left in them. You have to get the gum ones though, they're completely different than the colored ones. Anyways, I think this review is false, cuz I also know friends who ran these for quite a while too...

[guitar4lif3]

i just cut off my ol' dirtys oafter 2 and a half months

loved em

now im on the fit team grips clear. starting to go yellow tho.
