Was it just me or did cork grips hold on to your body heat remarkably warm, even in cooler weather? They're hands-down some of the prettiest grips you could use but I found I'm way too handlebar-curious to be trusted with such permanent grips. ESI grips have totally converted me. They absorb bumps well, never get slippery from sweat or rain like rubber grips (cork was also better than rubber) and most importantly, can be swapped around cleanly and quickly. I just wish they would release a tan/khaki color already!
