[Review] Fit Team Grips
   by turndown | 02 Jul 2006 5:06 pm

(I do realize someone just did a review on this, but I dont feel the review did the product justice and also the name was wrong, and I wanted to clarify them

This time I am doing a review on the Fit Bike Co "Team" Grips.They cost around 13 bucks and these are their original grips, as they recently came out with the "Key" grips wich are ribbed but have the Fit logo all over them.

Basically these are just your average ribbed/mushroom grip. They were soft, comfortable, and nice (cant say that I get sweaty hands so no report there). However after only a day of riding i noticed they had already started wearing! So eventually after 2 months they ended up like the picture below, with a completely wore spot where my pinky and ring finger meet my hand. (NOTE: almost every grip i ride goes bald in that spot eventually, its something with the way I ride and put pressure on that spot, and it probably hasnt helped that Ive got 180s dialed so it may have wore faster)

What you see is the mushroom part wore completely down to the middle of the grip, and that = uncomfortable and hurts, so I rotated it. not really a big problem, and kept riding them, though after 3 days i can already see small wear starting on the new spot. But I guess I cant complain too much considering how soft and comfortable they are.

Overall I would reccomend this grip if perhaps your not very hard on grips like me, or your just looking for something really comfortable.

Pros:
+ comfortable
+ average price
+ free fit logo plastic barends

Cons:
- wears down pretty quick

Rating: 7/10 for the wear.


Cost: about $13
