FAQs

What is the difference between thick and thin DeathGrip 2s?

The thick version has a diameter of 31.3mm, providing a more substantial feel, while the thin version is 29.8mm, suitable for riders with smaller hands or those who prefer a slimmer grip.

Do I need grip glue?

No, the DeathGrip 2s use a lock-on system with a single lockring. Grip glue is not required and should not be used.

Can I use these grips on an e-bike or motorcycle?

These grips are specifically designed for standard 22.2mm bicycle handlebars. They are not intended for use on e-bikes with different bar diameters or motorcycles.

How durable is the Krayton rubber?

Krayton rubber is known for its balance of softness, durability, and grip. It offers good resistance to wear from normal trail use and hand abrasion.

What does 'flanged' mean?

The 'flanged' option includes an extra raised edge on the inboard side of the grip. This is a traditional feature that some riders prefer for hand protection, but it can sometimes interfere with brake or shifter clamps.

How do I choose between the different rubber compounds (Soft 20A, Gum 25A, Race 15A)?

Softer compounds (like 20A) offer more cushioning and vibration damping. Harder compounds (like 15A) are generally more durable and offer a firmer feel. Gum 25A is a middle ground. Your choice depends on personal preference for feel and longevity.

How often should I check the lockrings?

It's good practice to check the tightness of the lockrings at the beginning of each riding season or after a particularly rough ride to ensure they haven't loosened.

Troubleshooting

Grips are slipping on the handlebar

Ensure the handlebar is clean and dry. Re-tighten the lockring. If the interior of the grip is contaminated with grease or dirt, remove the grip, clean both the handlebar and the inside of the grip, and reinstall securely.

Lockring is difficult to tighten or feels stripped

Ensure you are using the correct size Allen key. Check for any debris in the lockring threads. If the threads are damaged, contact customer support.

Hand numbness or discomfort after riding

Try the opposite grip diameter (thin if you have thick, or vice-versa). Ensure the grips are not overtightened, as this can restrict blood flow. Adjust your riding posture and hand position.

Grips feel too sticky or grabby

This is often a desired characteristic for grip. If it's excessive, consider a different compound (e.g., Race 15A instead of Soft 20A) or ensure your gloves are not excessively tacky.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip in various weather conditions.
  • Comfortable for long rides due to the soft mushroom section.
  • Durable construction with Krayton rubber.
  • Easy to install and remove.
  • Available in different diameters and compounds to suit preferences.

Cons

  • Thick diameter may be too large for riders with small hands.
  • Flanged version might interfere with some shifter/brake lever setups.
  • Krayton rubber can wear faster in extremely abrasive conditions compared to harder compounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure handlebars are clean and free of old grip residue.
  2. Slide the grip onto the handlebar. If tight, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can aid installation (it will evaporate).
  3. Align the grip with the desired position, ensuring the lockring is accessible.
  4. Tighten the single lockring using an Allen key (typically 3mm or 4mm) until the grip is secure and does not move. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • These grips are designed for standard 22.2mm bicycle handlebars.
  • Available in thick (31.3mm) and thin (29.8mm) diameters, and with or without flanges. Choose based on hand size and preference.
  • The 'flanged' version includes a raised edge on the inboard side, which may interfere with certain brake or shifter clamp designs. Check your setup if using the flanged model.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with mild soap and water. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush.
  • Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the Krayton rubber.
  • Periodically check the lockrings to ensure they remain tight.
