Just bought a set of Sunline Logo grips

I've always used ODI Lockons but found the plastic end cap just useless, so bought a pair of the above for a new jump bike. They come with a seriously cool CNC'd end cap and a choice of two grip widths and colours. The fact the Atherton's use them mean they can't be crap and their stems are loovvveerrrlllyyy, so went for a set.

First impressions are good, although the use of a grub-screw to keep bars from moving is not as good as ODI's lockon imo. But the grip feels good and the end cap is awesome.

So... End cap good, mounting not as good, grip pattern good. Couple of quid cheaper than ODIs but you can't reuse the brackets, but then I've found the brackets get scratched and dented so I'd normally buy a whole new grip and brackets anyway.

Worth a look smile

I like my Good n Evil grips, but only with gloves! Riding to the pub (ahem!) without them, they are horrible sticky / slimy things.
