[oldschoolace]

Anyone know it you can remove the stock grip and replace with bmx one?

Maybe try a set of the later Mushroom grips that have the bigger hole?
I will be interested in this as I was thinking of doing a Grifter/BMX hybrid and keeping the 3 speed hub and twist grip.

Hack the bugger off clint, you must be able to replace em 

[griff]

I don't remember grifter grips being odd-sized
If they were though, you could always try some of those oury MX grips..?

[OrgasmDonor]

mushroom grips will be no good the ribs go the wrong way for smooth anal insertion, a 4mm allen key will be ideal to scrape the skiddy sweetcorn outa the grooves on that 

sorry, but it does look like a rubble chute violator

Got some blue Oury mx grips Clint if want em. They may do the trick.
Bought from a radster via ebay as bmx grips. Can't remember who tho.

You can get 8 - speed hubs from sturmey with disc or coaster attachments, I looked into it but would have a serious weight issue especially after frame mods so forgot that idea

[dp and chopper dude]

What about trying a Mk3 Chopper 3 sped grip? They are probably nearer to BMX grip size. I've got one at my Mum & Dad's house. I'm off over there at dinner time. I'll have a weigh up.

Anyone know if the grifter grip is 22.2mm internal diameter?

[dp and chopper dude]

I've had a nosey and this is what they look like:




To be fair the one you've got looks better. Could you heat up a grip in hot water and slide it over the one that's on the gear selector?

should be fine , I fitted a grifter sturmey  to a set of GT pro bars and I removed the grip by cutting it off and fitted a ODI mushroom

[Dark Diggler]

Moley done a 5sp sturmey to his GT bmx for radchester 2011, it worked well if that's your bag

[griff]

I remember that being talked about, but never saw a pic of it finished
Might be worth a shot if I do another build as I now live on a big fookin hill

[Munnyella]

Slightly oversized, I put burner plastic/foam grips on my grifter when I was a kid, it was a right bollock of a job, but I was 11!.

Mushrooms will be easy, as would most rubber grips, the old MK1 burner grip `cores' were quite rigid!

I also put Fuan cobra grips on it, which was fooking shite as the gear side moves!!

I remember having to cut off the grifter grip with a junior hacksaw (hard as nails)
