  What is a good lightweight pair of foam grips?

  They still make foam grips?

  weight weenies will never let them stop making them.
  
  I’ve used these before and they felt decent enough but they were not durable at all. I would think it’s a fair bet to say that NO foam grip will last very long. Stick with lock ons, IMO.

  I think Ritchey makes some that people seem to like.
  
  I personally can’t hardly ride without my Ergons…they’re heavy, and I’m a semi-weight weenie, but they’re worth it.

  Did you check out the Crank Brothers Cobalts? They’re foam and lock-on at just a measly 65g (almost half my LS Moabs at 113g) and as with all Crank Brothers gear, they look pretty sweat. Plus, they look rather durable too. Check em out!

  Huh, those do look neat. I have had nothing but good luck with the Crank Bros products I have owned.

  Hey joetutt, are you going with a set of those in gold for your new sortie build? It would match the fork nicely…

  These things rock, I’ll be getting a second set for my project bike shortly. Unless you dump into some rocks or sharp branches I don’t think the cobalts are going to wear out.

  Do they get slippery when wet? They look a little slick.

  I’ve had zero slipping issues, although I got them near the end of summer and only put a few rides in. I’ve got some sweaty hands on the few rides and a couple of creek crossings without any slip issues with bare hands.
