Rev grips ......shall i ?

[StuR]

Ive heard good things about them but they are eyewateringly expensive.
I get numb aches and tingling in my hands that can last for hours after a ride
My hands arnt in the best of shape due to my health ( early onset Parkinson's disease ) but riding definitely aggravates them
I'll pay the money if they help but im reluctant to gamble
Any feedback from users would be much appreciated
Thanks

I know that @Al Boneta likes them a lot.

Revgrips

Another product that I thought was just hype at first. The idea of grips that rotate on the handlebars seem ludicrous to me. They called them suspension grips. I installed a set for a friend of mine with arthritis. He was able to ride longer without the usual pain he had at the end of the ride. I gave them a try. I no longer have arm pump issues or numbness at the end of the ride. What I once thought was gimmick, is on all of the main bikes I ride.

I recommend them, just think about the price of a saddle or pedals, your other points of contact.

Exactly, your butt and feet are important, but think about your hands. They are far more importanter. You use your hands to sign your name, tie your shoes, swipe right, swipe left and wank. Take better care of your hands

87€? I had a bigger price in mind. I might get some I found a dealer in Europe.

@Al Boneta recommended them a few months back and I too was nervous about the price ?

For me, I was getting numb hands during rides. I can confirm these grips have been a huge step forward in resolving my particular issue.

Happy days and thanks again Al ?

If you are getting numb hands it is worth looking at your gloves as well. Posted elsewhere but I bought some gell padded, fingerless weight lifting gloves, best gloves ever and I have tried a few. Apart from being cheap as chip they have an extra strong Velcro wrist band that really gives good support rather then just being used to hold the gloves on.

Did you import them or find a UK dealer? Thanks.

An expensive import but following the link above as they are cheaper getting them from Flowrider Racing.

Thanks everyone
Seems like a nobrainer
I'll brush the dust off my wallet

There are few products that make this big of a difference in the way your bike feels.
It’s definitely worth the investment. We spend a lot of money on stuff that only gives us the smallest of gains.
One other feature of these grips I probably did mention in some other thread, is you can wear less padded gloves.
I hate thick super padded gloves, because I get a vague feeling at the handlebars.
I feel like I am wearing boxing gloves. With revgrips I can wear thin gloves with no padding to get the bar feel back or no gloves at all.

Ive got a bit of a glove fetish (ooh missus) and have half a dozen pairs, mainly fox variants. The ones with padded palms work for me in most cases, but unpadded ones cause numbness, especially if very rough - did Cwmcarns Y Myndd downhill yesterday on the Levo and could hardly hang on at the bottom. Think I might take a look at these grips.
