grips to prevent handburn?

… the bontragers seem a little too skinny next to the ourys.

They are not. The Big Earl are consistently larger as the entire grip diameter is the size of the ODI lock-on clamp. The blocks on the Ourys are only that.

Had a chance to try the Big Earl grips when I was riding a Trek Session 77 and was really impressed. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find 'grip only' packs. I've only seen them sold as grip and hardware.

I find the ourys work well. My hands are fine with them as long as I wear gloves.

Go out and get a job in construction. After a couple months, your grips will feel
like a soft fluffy pillow.

Can't say I've ever had "handburn". I've got forearm pump fro riding Goats Gully
over and over (not to self: Take a easy trail like aline or DM in bewteen GG runs).

That said, I use the odi's that airsupply showed, so maybe it's the grips?

a good place to do these is when yer driving and stuck in traffic

lock-ons of some type are definatley the only way to go

I only get stuck in traffic about once a year at most being on the island. Im pretty partial to lock ons too, but looks like I don't have a choice for these. I found putting them on with an air compressor works awesome.

Maybe I'll bring my old ones as backup incase these get all squirmy.

the grips are bontragers best product, they are awesome. da bomb diggaty you might say.

Well then whenever you are doing something mindless and have one hand empty you could strengthen your grip.

Perhaps while you are masturbating ? And the great thing is when you switch to strengthen the other hand … it will feel like somebody else

Actually I've been working in construction nearly 4 years. I think it has less to do with my grip'ing strength, and more to do with the shock from all the braking bumps/rough terrain.

I've never had this happen riding at all, but after this past weekend my hands actually lose feeling at times too. Its probably time to check with a doc.

:damn: you mean "it will feel like a different women" right?

deffiinatly the odi rogue lock-on are my prefferance, bigger diameter equils less burn, gloves also help a bit, but not much

uh … whatever blows yer dress up dude

yup, you're right, i looked into them a little bit more and i saw that they are the same size as the clamps. let me know if you find any as grip only, i kind of want to try them. the sunline grips look nice too though.

I have been informed that Trek/Bontrager is now shipping the Earls in grip only packs… and they are the Earl grips, not the Big Earls as I said before.

I was just giving you some shit…

I'd say try bigger grips…

Or maybe try and adjust your brake levers up or down. I've had mine to far up
and that made my wrist bend back putting more pressure on your carpel
tunnel nerves. If your hands are getting numb, might be that.

Maybe even your handle bars might be rotated too far one way or another?
If you can swing a hammer all day and not get numb there, then a bike ride
shouldn't be affecting you.

I'd say screw with the ergonomics of your cockpit. (bet you never thought
someone would ever tell you that… huh?)

Worth a try?

ODI ruffian lock-ons and TLD gloves.

You may also just need to work on your flow. Some guys, oddly enough stronger guys, tend to try and muscle the bike all the time. Work on riding with a looser grip and letting the rest of your body (and the bike) absorb some of the vibration. As strange as it sounds, you may be using your arms too much? It sounds odd, but maybe someone else can explain it better.
