Hola a todos,

Kinda of jumping in very quick....I want to install some grips on my colorina because of the numb thing with my hands, I have seen the foammy ones, but honestly they look like ****e, I wonder if there is something better looking but also capable of giving you the so called confort of the foam ones...gel probably?? any particular brand name??

Thanks guys,
Luis

Luis Mi compadre ! - wrap some masking tape around your bars - about 3-5 layers.
Fit standard grips over the top.......
This makes the bars a bit fatter and more comfortable !
Numb hands much reduced ! Cheaper too..............

Hey Louis. I use foam grips but not the big fat ugly ones. Most people don't even know that I have them on. I also put colored bar ends on which helps to distract the casual onlooker. I find I get most opposition from the bike shop, not other riders. They are easy to install too. Coat the inside of the grips & the bars with dish washing detergent. Add enough water to make it wet & slide them on. Next morning they are on for good. No glue
