So, you're saying they stay clean for a few thousand miles then?

Well, I ride when I can but seriously they don't get as bas as people think they will. I use a little Windex on them now and then and no matter how many miles I put down I think I can keep them clean. When I do a full detail on the bike I use that Mr. Clean pad or what ever it's call," Magic eraser", that's what it is.

Stay away from the threads, man......its a trap. Plenty of forum members wallets can vouch for it as well. Welcome to the white grip world.

Hey, they were $12, total. With that kind of price tag, this particular thread is the least of my worries.

Had red grips on a previous bike, a sporty. Had to clean them periodically. I do all my own work, and on my bike that is a regular thing (greasy hand inducing maintenance). I'll just clean em - maybe with some Bleche White, what I use on the whitewalls?

Well, if they don't get dirty I may just have to pick me up a set. I'll keep my black ones and switch them out every once in a while.

Really? I got mine dirty just installing them. But they do clean up easily.

Just gotta say, some beautiful bikes here with accents that are out of the box. Love em.

Here's my colorblind contribution: Beston GT style translucent grips. All of 15 bucks.
