Maybe it’s just because I’m high as balls, but it’s like you are surrounded by multiplying alien phalluses and you are discussing ways to identify them and avoid the possible dangers.
When he threw the down I was like ayo
"if you know what donuts are, you're old". Lol. Thanks Ry. Wish you had some UGP Kung Fu grips just to show them.
Not necessarily because se are making them again and all the wheelie kids will buy anything se right now !
The vans grips never failed me. Whether I'm wearing gloves or not, sweaty hands or not, they're always grippy and comfy. Favorite grips since they came out I must have spent hundreds on them over the years.
I always use hair spray it’s sticky and dries pretty fast if you don’t use a lot.
Is fitting grips by spraying the bars with hairspray a common thing? I've only just heard about it recently (I've always just wangled them on bit by bit), but it seems like a good idea to me, because it would allow slippage when wet and help stick the grips to the bars once dry.
@@soots-stayingoutofthespotl5495 Yeah it's common (in the UK around me anyway) I think it has been passed down from motorcycle and scooter riders, it's been the only way I've known since the 80's when I got my first vespa!
Use four, long, zip ties. It’s so easy, with no mess.
I always get throttle grip (I get extremely sweaty hands while I ride) so I just super glued mine. I currently use Federal command grips, which are great. I wish they'd make lockon version of all these longer grips.
Federal's are dope.
Could always carry some gloves with ya
I was wondering the same thing but I have a theory: Lock-on grips have a plastic sleeve in the middle so they slide on easily. This means a compromise, either a thicker grip (not great for smaller hands) or less rubber, (i.e less cushioning) .
It might also be to do with marketing, i.e BMXers don't want to buy a MTB grip? However, I know one brand (Pilgrips, probably re-branded ODIs?) that sells grips primarily marketed to 26" DJ riders who you'd have thought would be quite receptive to lock-on grips but their long grips are friction fit and only the shorter grips are lock-on.
@@killcancersteve oh, I do. Without gloves I can't reliably hold my bars. I superglue the grips to the bars, not my hands. 😂
I have to say the Animal Edwin grips are probably the most perfect product I've ever used in any capacity along with maybe Ivory Soap, just perfect the way they are. It's cool Animal has kept making them for so long!
Haha. Yeah I love those grips.
Air compressor is the best, zip tie method works very well. A bike shop used wd40 on my grips which I thought was sketchy but it dried fast and worked well. I also used a can of computer duster a few days ago
Old video i know but the algorithm decided i would like this video lol. For whatever reason im not as big of a fan of mushroom style grips. My favorite growing up was the Primo V grip, theyre pretty hard at first but were great once worn in. Nowadays I've been hoarding Duo Doyle and Cranmer grips whenever i see them. I only keep the flange on the brake lever side.
Thats is true! Only changing the grips can realy feel like a diff bike. Been rocking few s&m hooder grip for almost a year. And decided to switch it 3 weeks a go with odyssey brock raiford v1 and felt weird, thin and found it is not for me. So decided to switch it up again with a new hooder grips
I love Edwin grips!!
Hoder gang checkin in.
I like the Reynolds, but only cuz I like flanges, otherwise they seem identical
Try Credence grips and you'll never use Hoder's again. I once swore by Hoder's.
Windex/ glass cleaner also works to install grips if you don’t plan on riding for the next day or so.
Ran Edwin’s for at least 15 years. Most consistent part until they quit making them flanged. Duos are a fair replacement (either Homan or T-Nez), both have full sized flanges.
NOS ? haha
When I used to run brakes and bought flangeless grips, I actually cut off the flange of my old grips and put them between the new grip and the brake (only brake side) so that my thumb doesnt get cut. I really liked it because they were very beautiful wtp flanges and I could put them on any other grip because they were then not attached to the grip any more🤷♂️
(I dont run brakes any more)
I think you could do the same with the Edwin's (except if you are brakeless.. then I dont think the flange will hold really well)
call me old, but I HAVE to have flanges. Recently been running Clint Renyolds grip - absolutely love them
really glad you gave in and edited this video instead of doing 10 30 minute takes
WD-40. Been doing that for decades.
I currently have the Cult Vans grips and they are nice. But nothing beats a mushroom style grip.
I Run ODI Ruffians on my mountain bike. Those have been around forever!!!!
Ive used WD with the thin red straw attachment to remove grips without cutting. But have used hairspray to install new grips for years. A local bike shop mechanic showed me the technique and I’d never looked back. But I agree if you are not trying to salvage the grips you are removing. Then cutting them off is the easiest.
🙌
I’ve seen a lot of people commenting about using hair spray and wd40 but what I found works best with hardly any mess and no residue left is either brake cleaner or carb cleaner. It dries very fast and only takes me 1 min to put on both grips.
I love the vans grips. I will always run them. Only in gum color tho
S&Ms Reynolds credence grips are the best I've ever had, I'm a flange guy
Same bro you just need a donut
I thought Hoder's felt good til I tried Credence grips. Soooo much better than Hoder's
@@twentytolife4401 I think it’s cause they have a thinner diameter
A dab of rubbing alcohol is what I use, evaporates way faster than a dab of wd40. I like the Federal team grips and the Cult Vans.
Grip ASMR!!! Woooooooo!
Basically nailed a video on a highly subjective topic. By this point I just watch Our BMX just cause haha..
When i was a kid I'd use dirt and they would slide on easy but spin for the first couple of day they they were good after that. Then my dad seen me doing it and showed me how to do it with the air compressor and been doing it that way for over 20 years and showed my son how to do it as well
IS WD40 different in the states? Cos over here in the UK it's the best method for putting on grips going. Dries in seconds and never get throttle grip.
the demolition team grips were the shit, it was those and the primo logo grips that ruled in my city.
What's going on with ODI? Why haven't they put out any longneck XL grips in over a year?
I use isopropyl alcohol to put on grips because it dries faster than water and whatever
You callin' me old, Fudger? Flange gang for lyfe ;)
Flange gang represent
🤣🤣
I always used force, but now i always just breathe moist hot breath into the grip with a bit of saliva, grip slides on right away and dries in like 2 minutes
Gonna try those seeley grips next
Fiend only buddy !
Back in the racing days we all had flange’s grips with doughnuts and metal bar ends like the odi roughneck grips i used to run back then. Grips I’ve aways liked are fiend team grips fiend JJ grips Cinema interlace grips vans waffle grips Fly fino grips Animal bikes Edwin grips EZ Jive Handles grips with two jive nuts doughnuts 👍🚲💨
Some of them 90s odyssey grips were soft right outta the bag !
Anything Jive Handles were the worst grip ever made
Still waiting to see a hole in my ODI ‘O’ grips despite them looking really ropey just now. Shame i cant seem to find another set in the joker purple though
The new ones don't feel the same !!
I just put on some Sunday garnett reeves and I have a serious blister - aarrggh.
Nice!!
Thanks for the advice, I'll try switching it up. Can we get a video on BMX gloves?
I’ll probably do one on safety gear at a point, but not gloves specifically. 🙌🙌
@@OurBMX Fair enough! I've gone through like 10 pairs in the last 2 years(Fox,TroyLee,Seven,Oakley). They've all ripped on the thumb seem. I can't keep destroying these $50 gloves lol Who makes a good pair? I feel like I need to start designing something myself.
Aqua net, I use it and my grips haven't slipped in YEARS...just don't use a lot.
I’d say the demolition axes are the best grips, super sticky, thick, and they last quite a while.
Nothing better than a worn in pair of Hoder grips in my opinion
Edwin are perfection
If your bar end snaps of
Use a corkscrew to remove
If you put grips on w hairspray they slide right on & stay locked on
Animal Edwin's so comfortable
I’m still waiting for the grip that works with super sweaty hands. When it’s 95 and humid outside, they all fail and gloves are the only option.
S&M HODER or Reynolds grips are bad ass and the first I dont use gloves with.. try em
@@mikehagen3785 I’ve had a couple pair of hoders. Great grips, but they still get slippery to me if it’s peak summer. Under normal conditions they were one of the best grips I’ve had. I ran a set most of the winter and spring.
@@DB-dr7eq yes, peak summer humidity is hard.. but I kinda hate gloves, although the Shadow gloves are damn good
I wonder if taping your palms would help, should I try that?
eclat pulsar grips...i know it's subjective, but they have been far and away the best grips i've ever experienced
I tried them and there really good but my local shop only had them in purple so it looked stupid on my bike 😂
Best grips in the game
That intro was very Dildonic. respect.
ODI longnecks all day dude, been shredding for 10 years and anything that resembles that pattern, never really get sweaty hands tbh, but if I do it isn’t while riding, rub dirt in ur palms it helps
ODI Longneck 40 years I tried others but always came back to ODI Longneck
Lubricant or not, WD40 works great. I’ve used hairspray, rubbing alcohol and WD40, and the WD40 works best for me. I’ve used it on like 5 sets of grips this year and I don’t have throttle grip. It literally dries out in 5-10 minutes and I’m good to go.
@Martin Beaver haha I promise you it works. I put on some new broc grips a week ago. I just spray a little in the grips and slide them right on.
To be honest, I haven’t used wd40 in 20 years. I don’t remember it working well, but if it works for you then so be it. 🙌
I spray a drop of WD-40 to run down the grip, slide it on, and it dries in a minute.
I just hope the s&m gangs grips feel as good as they look
the ganja grips are really hard but are really good after they break in
Why is it bad to use water to slide the grips on? Never caused a problem to me...
I don't see many bikes with flanged grips...am I missing a trend change in BMX? Or are the manufacturers just not making a lot of flanged grips anymore?
Joinha setenta e quatro. Boa tarde!
I love flange......I love lamp.
Do I need to watch a 30 minute video explaining grips? Absolutely not but I'm going to
Haha. 🙌
Broc raidford grips then odi
I run the Martinez and I saw him get hooked up by sensus and it was that moment when I also wondered why duo still uses his name…
#PulsarGrip lovers say whats up ⚡️
Best grips in the game 💪💪
Wassup⚡️⚡️⚡️#Pulsargrip
The most disposable part is reflectors
i cant believe you made a 32 minute video on grips
S&m hoder grips all day
I like begin grips
ODI Mushy's da best. Using them for 30yrs. Showing my age right? 😂
I'm 48 and yes you are.
@@twentytolife4401 💪🏽
Still howling over the decline in flanged grip choices. T1s are pretty nice but wear out quick and the trusty ODI Longnecks in black are never in stock.
I wonder if Corey Martinez is still getting a royalty cheque , I hope he is
😬😬
I just use my pump to get grips on. A friend will be helpful.
Haaa you should see my grips 😂they are wasted wasted so I flip them so I can grab what's rest of the grip but now they ripped in half the rigth one 😂 so I wrap them with a shoe lace 😂and they are good as new 😎👏
Hey just cause I'm 40 I dropped the flanges last year and I had donuts
Sorry Ryan but WD40 is the exact opposite of a lubricant. Its a degreaser but people think its a lubricant because they spray it on a part that is covered in old gunned up grease, the WD40 loosens and removes that and therefore your bearing or whatever spins faster. Once you have degreased with WD you should then apply new grease.
I'll respectfully disagree. WD40 is a water repellent and made from fish oil, which is more lubricant than not.
@@OurBMX ah now come on dude. Its like 15% oil so its more solvent than oil. Plus we all know what the first page of google will say to "is wd40 a lubricant?". We also all know that WD40's real purpose is to remove sticker gunk from your Homeless Player and nothing else.
using alcohol gel is the best way I've found so far
The waffle grips are my favorite to use.
Vans x cult waffle grip.
My hands sweat to much 😒
@@thomasreisinger2139 yeah, these need gloves, at least for me
@@thomasreisinger2139 oh yuh gloves is a forsure hahaha.
@@thomasreisinger2139 i feel yuh.
That’s cool that O.D.I. Is still around!
Anyway, I’m in my mid-40’s, so, I rode a LONG time ago. I’ve developed a pet peeve of seeing riders holding the darned grips so far inwards. I get it- it makes bar-spinning stuff easier, but it’s just, yuck, for some reason, and now I can’t unsee it while trying to watch videos of today’s insane riding. Wish I’d never noticed it, but I just end up saying “HOLD THE DARNED GRIP PART OF THE GRIPS!” Not sure why it bothers me. 🙁😆
Honestly i think it looks way better too, to grip the grips near the inside.
Love my Cult shorty and Cult parts, but Cult grips are crap. Been using WD-40 for decades on grips. Just lightly spray a drop, slide em on, dries in a minute.
Cult Ak grips, my favorite grips of all time
Primo Strickers, look like they should'nt work but they WORK
Thinner we the people grip 2:40
Soft/hard 4:30
Length 6:00
Fit tech grip biggest Falange
Bar end 7:40
Design 9:50
Run through 18:05
Oddy keyboard are the best that i've ever had
Need a grip that's good for sweaty hands lmao
tbh for bmx i would say get s&m money grips
Air compressor for install and removal, takes a minute
Again, no one has an air compressor. I sold mine years ago and converted to electric tools.
@@OurBMX so guess my name is No One..... Hairspray was the trick before I changed my name
Very few. 😘
@@OurBMX Fudger, you're one of the best out there.. Thanks for your efforts and insight
I appreciate the kind words, Mike!
buy vital grips and ur sorted
wd40 to put on grips is a joke? Did that a couple of times, u slide it on and then wait half-hour till its dry, after that you are ready to go, no throttle grip at all
The half hour part is the issue…sometimes it’s more and sometimes the grips don’t ever really set fully. Wd40 is made from fish oil and, in my opinion, should be avoided. But if it works for you, awesome. 🙌
Pro trick, just use gasoline/lighter fuel to put the grips on. Dries really fast.
My friend engineered scooter wheels on his bar ends to help with flatland tricks
Interesting
eclat zap the best ññññññ
Most easiest method to put on your grips? Put on some ALCOHOL and it will slide through you handlebars easy. Once the the alcohol dries inside then your good to go.
the intro is so kinky
Freaky freaky
Dont watch this video just get ODIs
