Product name: Ergon GA3 grips
Price paid: £20.49
Score (out of 10): 10
Review: I've been on a quest for the best grips forever.
I've tried literally dozens of them
I have large hands and suffer from cramps, numbness , pins & needles and general discomfort and pain when riding
The closest I've come to reducing the above ailments to tolerable levels are RevGrips , this was before I tried these !!
At just over £20 they are not too badly priced , 5 times less than I paid for RevGrips, but are they any good ?
Ive put about 100 km on them now and I would say they are the best I've ever used
I put it down to 3 things -
1.The compound , which is soft but supportive
2.The diameter , which is perfect for my hand - i went for large
3.The wing/flange thingy , what ever it's called is the game changer though .
It provides great support to the heel of the hand , enabling pressure to be spread away from more sensitive areas of the hand
I find myself using various hand positions to prevent any particular part of my hands from taking a constant battering and these grips facilitate this.
I've also find I'm less inclined to have a constant death grip which is without a doubt the biggest contributer to my hand pain
I seem to just relax my grip using them
They are well made , top notch quality
Easy to fit , just one allen screw . They literally take seconds to fit
The instructions give recommend position of the wing , it's a good place to start , just suck it and see , you'll soon find what suits you
Available in large and small I believe
I know contact points are subjective and what works for one won't always work for another but if you suffer any hand issues, give them a punt . £20 isn't a vast amount to invest and you could move them on without loosing to much cash.
The build quality is flawless and combined with the fact they have massively reduced my hand pain , I'm giving them a perfect 10
