Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these grips suitable for mountain bikes?

While designed for BMX and scooters, the comfort and grip features can be beneficial for some mountain biking disciplines. However, mountain biking often requires grips with integrated locking mechanisms for security, which these do not have.

What is the length of these grips?

The Old Dutch International Longneck ST grips are 143mm in length.

Do the grips come with bar ends?

Yes, these grips come with ODI push-in end plugs.

How do I clean my grips?

Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid strong chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can I use these grips with heated handlebars?

It is not recommended to use these grips with heated handlebars, as the Krayton rubber material may be damaged by prolonged heat exposure.

What is the material of the grips?

The grips are constructed from a soft Krayton rubber material.

Are these grips directional?

No, these grips are not directional and can be installed on either the left or right side of the handlebar.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or are slipping.

Remove the grip, clean both the handlebar and the inside of the grip thoroughly. Reinstall using grip glue or rubbing alcohol for a more secure fit. Ensure the end plugs are securely installed.

Difficulty sliding grips onto handlebars.

Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or grip-specific lubricant to the inside of the grip or the handlebar. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants as they can degrade the rubber.

Comfort seems reduced after initial use.

Ensure the grips are fully seated and rotated to the rider's preferred position. The mushroom ribs may need a short break-in period to fully conform to hand shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers superior comfort and shock absorption due to the mushroom rib pattern.
  • Provides excellent grip and control with its proprietary Krayton rubber compound.
  • Durable construction ensures a long lifespan for the grips.
  • Includes ODI push-in end plugs for added convenience and protection.
  • Suitable for a wide range of riders, from beginners to professional athletes.

Cons

  • Open end design requires separate consideration for handlebar end protection if not using included plugs.
  • May not be compatible with locking grip systems if not designed for them.
  • The soft material might show wear faster under extremely abrasive conditions compared to harder compounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure handlebars are clean and free of debris.
  2. Apply a small amount of grip glue or rubbing alcohol to the inside of the grip (optional, for added security).
  3. Slide the grip onto the handlebar, ensuring it's fully seated.
  4. If using aftermarket end plugs, install them now. If using the included ODI plugs, push them firmly into the open end of the grip.

Compatibility:

These grips are designed for standard 7/8-inch diameter handlebars commonly found on BMX bikes and scooters. The open-end design is compatible with most handlebar ends and allows for the use of bar-end accessories or weights.

Care:

Clean the grips regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the Krayton rubber compound. Allow grips to air dry completely before use.
