Can I use these grips for commuting or road cycling?

Troubleshooting
Grips slipping on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar and inner grip surface are clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider using a grip tack spray or re-tightening clamp mechanisms (if applicable).
Bar end feels unstable
Verify that the bar end is fully seated and secured according to the installation instructions. Check for any damage to the composite material or handlebar.
Hand numbness or discomfort persists
Re-evaluate grip angle and bar end positioning. Ensure you are using the correct size grip for your hand. Experiment with different hand positions offered by the bar end.
