Almost finished: New #GripRings by @Spurcycle



For the first time BumbleB had a package addressed to him. Yes you heard right.

Addressed to Bumble B himself.

I've been eyeing up these SpurCycle: GripRings for awhile now and finally put in an order as the awesome yellow Brompton grips where starting to look pretty dirty of late. Even though I've cleaned them quiet often, they get dirty pretty quickly. On with the GripRings.

Pretty easy to install I must say and they look pretty damn good. Will take me awhile to get used to the feel of them compared to the Brompton foam grips but I'm liking how they match up with the rest of BumbleB's colour scheme.

Ok I guess you want some photos eh, or should I tease you some more? ok I won't here enjoy the eye candy.

SpurCycle: GripRings


Full blown Bumble B
 

Only thing left I feel now is a Brompton Yellow Saddle, I have thought about a Brooks but I'm not to sure about spending that kind of money and having to "break it in" & then not liking it. I'd go with what I know and thats the Brompton standard saddle. Then I guess I cant really do anything more with Bumble B other than get another and start again >:P maybe a full on racing bike.

      You can get them in all kinds of different colours and build them yourself, they are all separate rings of different colours

    How is the confort compared to standard foam ones? Are they just good looking or also an improvement in shock absorbing? Thanks :)

      I would say that they are about the same comfortwise, maybe a little harder than the Brompton foam grips. I may add some "cow horns" for longer rides I like to have different hand positions as mine get tired at times.
