GOOD POST!! The rider holds on to the bike ONLY by the grips and footpegs. GOOD Soft grips are VITAL to comfort, it also lessens vibrations. They will wear out faster. So change them often. hi kied, thanks 4 the feedback. there is a for sale folder here on DBA where all items/gear n other stuff for sale r put there with the approval from the DBA admin staff. please feel free 2 contact them n put the post on the grips up there. thanks Edited by airtime, 26 Aug 2009, 17:28.

A good pair of glove would be the best for the control of your bike, I throw away my Fox, EVS, Shift, Thor gloves after i found the Bicycles Gel Gloves by Specialied. It's Works This glove is built for maximum comfort, coverage and minimum fatigue, with plush Body Geometry Gel padding on the grip and heel surface. |

I just picked up a pair so really excited to try on Sun!! The best so far has been the Ufo's for my soft keyboard hands but they're ruined after my 'slide-farthest-on-concrete'  crash in the race and no more stock in Singapore....Ride report coming up soon for the Specialized Gel-infused gloves..

Great tips from Alan, love the gloves and I'm really picky with gloves normally and these are top for control and general feel.  Quality is too early to comment on but at least the didn't break on the first ride like my latest 661s did.. These gloves actually changes your grip requirements as well if like to be completely dialed in and I'll now go back to the ProGrip 791 Triple density from my current Pro Taper Pillow Grips that works really well too but now they are a little bit thick with the gel inlays in the gloves. Try the sizes before you buy, I'm normally XL in gloves but with these I went for the L and it was a bit tight at first but now just nice and snug.
