A'me Rounds for me, had them on all my bikes and still preferred today.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

A'me Rounds everytime  :daumenhoch:

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

All the kids round our way wanted Mushies (ODI has a cooler logo than the SM) :daumenhoch:
As an iconic design I think Tange grips must be worth a mention ;)
(I'm not sure if there was some connection to the similar OGK design though)  ???

I do like a Unitron but I find them hard on my delicate hands. Look great and hard wearing and tons of colour combo's. A'me Duals worth a mention in that respect also.

I've not ridden in years but would you have different choices for gloved / un-gloved hands? Unitron with a glove yes, without no. Same with F1's the formula is quite hard. B1B and B2 got a nice soft formula. .5's are a bit smooth, not too grippy.

I remember Rounds not being too bad for blisters. Never liked mushrooms.

Hutch grips always got a bad press, but they're quite thin and feel quite close to the bars. Tough compound again though.

Can I suggest Oakley O-Wing grips...?  I mean come on...they gave them away free with almost every order in the old BMX magazines...!!!  Now you can't find a black set for less than $300...!!!
