FAQs

Are these grips suitable for mountain biking?

These grips are specifically designed for BMX and scooter use, focusing on the comfort and control required for those disciplines. While they may offer some comfort, they are not optimized for the vibration and impact demands of mountain biking.

How long will these grips last?

The lifespan of the grips depends on riding frequency, intensity, and environmental conditions. However, the soft durometer compound and durable design are intended for extended use.

Can I use these grips on any size handlebar?

The ODI "O" Grips are designed to fit standard 7/8 inch diameter handlebars, which are common on BMX bikes and scooters. Please verify your handlebar diameter before purchasing.

Do I need to use grip glue?

Grip glue is optional but recommended for a secure installation, especially for aggressive riding. Isopropyl alcohol can also be used as a temporary lubricant for easier installation.

How do I clean the grips?

Clean the grips with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse gently and allow them to air dry completely before use. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the "O" shape referring to?

The "O" shape refers to the thicker, distinct ribs on the grip designed to enhance traction and control during aggressive riding maneuvers.

Are replacement end plugs available?

The grips come with push-in end plugs. If you need replacements, please contact ODI customer support or check with authorized retailers.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel sticky or are difficult to install.

Ensure the handlebars are clean. If installing dry, use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on the inside of the grip to help it slide on (allow alcohol to evaporate completely before riding). Alternatively, use a grip glue designed for handlebars.

Grips are slipping during use.

Check that the end plugs are securely installed. If slipping persists, the grips may need to be re-secured. Remove the grips, clean the handlebar and the inside of the grip, and re-install using grip glue or isopropyl alcohol.

One grip seems firmer than the other.

This could be due to slight variations in the compound or wear. Ensure both grips have been installed correctly and are clean. Consistent cleaning and care can help maintain an even feel.

End plugs came loose.

Push the end plugs back in firmly. For a more permanent fit, a small dab of adhesive can be applied to the end plug before inserting.
