Its been over a year since the element in my left grip failed, so probably about time to replace it with the cold nights setting in.

I've been putting it off on the hope that Datatool might start manufacturing their grips again, but apparently "we have a unique product that people want to pay money for" isn't a good enough reason to do that.

I like the chunky grips of the Datatool ones. I've ridden a bike with Oxford grips and they feel too small in my apparently gigantic clumsy hands. Not a fan of the remote control box instead than the integrated slide switch of the Datatool ones either.

So... recommendations?

Thanks

I've only had them on one bike so far however these were lovely before. Adjustable heat settings as well which helped a lot so you didn't boil your hands straight away or just have them off.

Actually, freddyfruitbat's posts in there will also sort you out - he shares your enthusiasm for chunky grips, and his Grip Puppies (oo-er missus) are just the job
