We Are All Individuals!... Not Me!
So I thought I could hold out. Be that one guy with beat up hands not running Ergon grips. But JK is persuasive and generous salesman who I truly believe wants to see America change it's colors from the red, white and blue to the black, white and lime green. Not that I'd mind, I mean red white and blue is kida played.So in a matter of days I will be joining the ranks of some of the top endurance riders in the country to be running these grips- Jeff of course, Ernie, Sloan, Mr. Dave Harris, Lynda, Adam, Nat, the list is endless. Thankfully it's endless, 'cause if it did I'd be last for sure. Seriously if THAT many folks are using these bad boyz you have to think that Ergon is on to something.Of course there's also the theory that I'm using the grips to have Jeff, talk to Irina to talk to Maja on the start line to... Wait a second. Wifey reads this blog. These grips will provide comfort for hours in the saddle...
I might be in trouble. Later.

Nat is prolly the only one you mentioned that has mixed emotions about the grips. But just as everything in the World....it might not be the ideal choice for him. Right now he has verbal committed to playing around with them in the off season.
Anytime you spend hours in the saddle personal pref. is going to #1. Thus my reluctancy to try them. The old "if ain't broke thing", well for me it "broke" at the Leesburg 13, not it time to try 'em.
I must say I'm anxious to try them over the long haul. I've briefly tried out friend. I'm more worried about the "feel" of the bar end than the grip themselves. I'm so used to my cut down stubby bar ends ... oh well, we'll see.
Thanks again Jeff.
Jason - I just put up a blog with some setup tips, just for you. The Ergons are great but not foolproof. They require correct setup and that depends on your riding style. The english instructions written by germans I find, uh, less than clear ;)
