    Looking for OURY like grips

    So I ride rigid singlespped. I have always used long, high flanged BMX grips but they offer little cushion. So I just got a set of OURY grips. I love them- they help so much with cushion. But here is the downside-they are short. I really like length especially b/c I use really wide bars and don't always want my hands all the way out except for climbing or balance. And I have abnormally fat palms.

    So to stop blabbing-are there grips out there that are as cush as OURYs but long? Otherwise I'll probably buy another set and cut them up. I don't want to do foam or handlebar tape.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'd like to know this too, the Oury grips are a bit short.

    WTB makes a long set of wing style grips, I have them on my bike . They are called WTB comfort zone clamp-on grips. They were around an inch longer than the Oureys

    if you get grip-shifts then you can extend the grip a lot, but that is a big change in shifting style from lever shifting.
    The faster you ride, the less it hurts when you slam, because you will probably get knocked out and won't remember it.

    Yeah I think this is what I'll probably do-it's good to see it working fine also. It would be cheaper than most new grips anyway
