Do you ever have those moments of being stuck at a grocery store deciding between 15 different types of pasta? I mean ultimately they all do the same thing right? That is to add some carbs to the diet.
At the moment I’m browsing Oury Grips as a potential for my new bike and I’m experiencing one of these moments. You see I had a vision of typing in Oury, the site loading up and then simply choosing a colour. But this has not been the case. I’m having to actually choose between original grip or pyramid grip or road grip or mountain grip or ATV grip or watercraft grip or lock on grips. I’m stuck. I have no idea what the difference between watercraft and pyramids are?
It’s not until you decide your meal, that you know what type of pasta you need. But still the right choice comes with experience and knowledge of Italian dining. Perhaps i’ll just stick with original at this stage. I can work my way up to cuisine!

Go the original… a matter of personal opinion, but I still think they look the best… as for colour I’m having the same dilemma for fitting out my olmo fixie… grey frame blue decals with subtle bits of yellow and everything else is a high polish silver…. blue… or black???

You should cut 1 square from every color and glue them to your bars. That way, you can have a rainbow grip. Uh?

lol at soflo fixed.
i think u will regret getting the ones like the road, pyramid or original because those parts on the insides of your hands will slowly wear away at your skin.
remember donuts? i used to use them on my bmx bike for that same reason.
lock on just seems silly. it takes a lot of effort to get an oury grip off. locks seem unnecessary for your $15 grips. mirite?

Lock ons are maybe a little pointless on a fixie but are+really+handy+on+other+bikes.+Grips+are usually kind+of+once+on+and+that+is+it.+You+can+really+take+them+on+and+off.+Lock+ons+allow you to easily swap out handle bars, shifters+and brake levers+without having to wrestle with grips or replace them.

oneangrytoast: cut them off, most bmxers do.
