Questions & Answers

Is it possible to remove the bar end end caps so that I can install bar end mirrors, or will I have to cut the ends off to expose the 7/8" diameter handlebar ends?

The removable bar end caps are a must on the newer version of this grip. You must remove them in order to properly install the handlebar, as they will add an inch of extension if left on. Re-install the bars after removing the plugs. the plugs should be installed

Is the diameter of the beads 34 mm?

I believe the maximum diameter is 33mm.

Is this the regular or fat version?

The last four sets I've had on a couple of bikes have been fantastic! Arm pump was significantly slowed and lasted for a long time
3/5

GA2br>br>Well, Ergon knocked it out of the park with this grip. to the present time. The last four sets I've had on a couple of bikes have been fantastic! The new design has removable end caps, which greatly slowed arm pumping and made it last longer. I misplaced the first one on the first ride, and the second was on the verge of falling out as I was loading my bike for the second ride. A client was lost. The redesign has left me feeling incredibly dissatisfied. "Don't fix it if it's not broken. ".

Grips that are one of a kind These replaced my Specialized SIP grips
5/5

The thinness of the SIPs appeals to me, but they can be harsh on bumpy downhill runs; the GA2s have more shock absorption and are thicker overall, but not excessively so. However, I've been wearing gloves with padded palms, and the GA2s feel too thick when worn with these gloves. The grip and comfort of the GAs with a bare hand are excellent, and I think I'll enjoy them even more with a non-padded glove. br>br>The ergonomic shape is comfortable, but it also has a surprising aggressive, locked-in feel to it. in feel. Riding with my hands out at the end of the bars does not put as much pressure on the outside edge of my palms as riding with my hands in the SIPs does. The GA2s, in my opinion, are also quite nice.

The color of the grips is inaccurately represented in the photograph
4/5

The grips are extremely comfortable to hold. And it made today's ride a lot more enjoyable. I'm just disappointed that the orange color isn't as bright as it appears in the picture. The photo appears to be cal trans orange, but the ones I received were more orange juice in color. The second disappointment is that the pair I received were clearly display models, as they had hand oils on them. It wasn't a big deal because I was about to apply my own hand oil to them while on the trail. I ordered a different color of the same model from the same manufacturer. I simply propose that you use a photograph that more accurately depicts the color. Additionally, someone cleans their products prior to shipping. Apart from that, the grips are excellent.

The grips are excellent, but they aren't super-strong
4/5

durable. On two of my bikes, I have a couple of sets of these Ergon Grips. They're quite nice, with a German design that looks and performs admirably. This pair was supposed to be a replacement for Ergon grips that had broken. br>br>These grips have a lot of useful features. They have a collar that you tighten with a 3mm allen wrench, and they don't move once you've tightened it. They come with detachable ends. caps, allowing you to mount a rear-view camera. In the end of your handlebars, place a view mirror or another accessory. They're made of a rubber that's extremely grippy. br>br>One issue I discovered was that these grips were prone to breaking. The rubber grip is mounted on the inside of the grip, which is made of a plastic tube. It'll be referred to as the "plastic liner. " The plastic liner creates a stable platform for tightening the allen bolt. The liner, on the other hand, is very easy to break. The bike rests on the end of the handlebars if you lay it on its side. The plastic liner, on the other hand, will break if the bike tips over and lands on the end of the handlebar (or if you crash). In a few places, both of my grips snapped. They were only on the show for a single season. br>br>At first, I mistook my carbon-neutral status for a carbon-neutral status. The fiber handlebars had broken at the end (I assumed this was due to the fact that I had shortened the handlebars by cutting them short), but it turned out that only the grips' plastic liner had broken. The grips became sloppy when you pulled on them as a result of this. It was infuriating, so I went out and bought a new set. I'm not going to buy them again if they break again, but we'll see. This time, I'll be more cautious.

The grips are extremely comfortable, and the design is nearly perfect
4/5

In comparison to standard grips, the GA2 has a nice tapered shape. Because of their ergonomic design, you must take the time to properly position them on the bar by rotating them until they fit your palm while riding in your preferred position. Once you've found the right grip position, you'll notice how comfortable your grip is. I didn't have any arm pump, palm fatigue, or wrist fatigue after a full day of park riding! I initially thought they were a little smaller in diameter than I'm used to, but after a few rides, I didn't notice. The only reason I didn't give the GA2s a 5-star rating was because I didn't think they were good enough. Because the bar ends are built-in, the rubber part of the grip on the ends of the bars will quickly wear out if you have to put your bike down on its side.

Much better than the stock option
4/5

On my high-end mountain bike with straight grips, I was suffering from wrist and palm pain. I had to crouch down to keep my palms flat on the bar because my wrists were constantly slightly bent sideways. That’s a good body position on descents but not when pedaling which is 80% of the time . These Ergon grips immediately relieved the weird wrist angle by slightly When descending, there is no discernible effect on body position, so I can continue to bomb it downhill. I only wish the rubber was a little softer for better shock absorption, but I already wear padded gloves, so it's not a big deal.

Right- Sized
5/5

Of course, each pair of hands is unique, but these grips are as close to right-handed as possible. as large as you'll ever come across. With every jolt that comes up from the terrain, your wrists would flick inwards if it were any thinner; If it were any thicker, the web of your thumbs would be strained. The slight taper is cleverly designed, and the clear demarcations on the grips' exteriors allow you to position them precisely where you want them. If you enjoy riding in rough terrain, this is the bike for you. You might want to get some dime-a-dozen if you're going to be rough and tumble. rubber bars, a dozen Once they've been bashed around on the trails, they'll need to be replaced.

Although the product is good, the hype surrounding it is not justified
4/5

These grips were purchased after reading on the internet that they were among the best for the money. They're definitely an improvement over my stock specialized grips, but they're nothing special in my opinion. It's nice that they lock on, but the end cap isn't ideal, and I wish there was another option. They are ergonomic, grippy, and comfortable, but they aren't particularly good at anything else. If you don't know what you really want, I'd recommend it as an upgrade over stock, but if you want to see specific features in detail, I'd recommend doing some research and getting something else.
