Original Grip Mod

I thought I would try this. It turned out to be better than I thought. Custom Chrome-Long-Softouch Rubber, $3.95. I cut each one into 4 pieces since I could not get the full length piece to slide up the full length of grip. They are very tight and stay in place. You really have to force them to move. Also, they are very comfortable. I also added the Oversize-Wide Crampbuster.

Neat idea, where do you buy the Softouch Rubber grip material to cut up to do this?

Thanks

yoseppi, I got mine at this location:
http://www.rodneyscyclehouse.com/
I know they still have some in stock.

Also here is a link to Custom Chrome. This is the place that makes them, I guess. That is the name that is on the package.
