Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I ripped my mountain bike right grips trying to do a jump on a pathway. For some reason, I swerved to the right and smashed on a drain railing. I would have fallen into the drain if it weren't there. I scratched my visor, which probably protected me from a broken nose.

My right thumb still hurts. I have bruises on my right hips and cuts on my right cheek and tummy. Which I only realized when looking at the mirror. Nothing serious though. My handlebar turned 90 degrees but luckily, it's not bent or even a scratch.

The right grip and end plug received the worst hit. I only realized later the right grip lock-on ring was missing. It must still be around the pathway somewhere. I have actually bought another handlebar grip before using the current design. I guess it's good to have extra grips prepared.

You can check out the latest mountain bike grips that I've changed video here. I like the idea of changing different grips once in a while. Nowadays, the grips are the type that comes with a lock-on ring and you can easily take it off and put a new one.

The handlebar grips that I ripped had a nice skeleton pirate face design. It's a silicone type. I'm not sure if they sell a replacement as the grip itself is still intact. There are not or almost any bike grips with any cool anime design. Although, I prefer the rubber type with a better grip.

The new current bike grips that I've changed with palm ergonomic design feel pretty good. You can rest your palm on the grips while cruising through the pathway. I wish it has better graphic design though. Now, it looks pretty bland.

Everyone has their own preference with the handlebar grips. My original grips which have a simple boxy design was surprisingly good. Even though it looks cheap. I think they modified the size of the right grip as it comes with the Shimano gear shifter.

I can't seem to find a bike grip that has two different lengths for this type of gear shifter. I might have to buy the type of grips that can be easily cut short but still looks as if part of the gear shifter. There also aren't any camo design grips.

Colors, graphic design, and grip patterns are important to me. Okay, maybe it's not really important to other people who just want one that provides a good grip. But, I'm an urban rider mostly using my bike to and fro to work and home.

I like my bike to look as cool as possible while riding. That's why I've changed most of my bike parts. I've changed the bike seat, pedal, handlebar, stem, brake lever, etc. For some reason, I like dong works on my bike too. As much as riding on it.






Well, the more you ride, the more experienced you get. One thing I learned is that, I prefer a bike helmet with a visor. It definitely help protect my face, especially my nose which had once broken before. Though, not from cycling.
