I'm after a decent set of lock-on's.

Need to be no more than a tenner and be OK with flat bars and bar ends.

Was looking at the on-one grips. Anyone had any experience with these? any others that are worth a look?

I brought some from Cyclelife in Nottingham that are part of the component range offered alongside Raleigh bikes. Can't remember the name but they were cheap (less than a tenner) and very good quality.

Outland ones here as well, quality grips for not a lot of dosh. The On-One grips are [b]Not[/b] for carbon bars, they use a pointy grub screw that goes into the 'bar, rather than a locking collar. I've previously used the original Lock-On's, but the Outland ones are just as good, and use a slightly larger 'key to tighten them up.

I used to use Yeti's, they last for ever and have a decent amount of padding, but give me terrible blisters on my palms!

I'm now using Orange's lock-on grips, they're a ruffian clone like the Imperial's, and are pretty good but are wearing out quickly (I must hold on too tight!).

I'm tempted to try some ergon grips, but it's a lot of money to lay-out if I don't like them.

Chatting to Neil from Superstar at SITS they are doing lockons in a few weeks time for £7.99. Same as the outland and imperial ones but cheaper and a choice of colours.

He said he would email me pictures of his samples, hoping the pattern will be xtra grippy. Im waiting till then to see

Ive got the Charge Spoon on both my bikes, but they are beginning to wear out, ive only had them a few months!

Any suggestions for some better ones would be good!
