We still have some plastic-foamy grips, and we’ll sheepishly sell them until we’re out. If you want them on a bike build bad enough and we don’t have them, you can buy them from your LBS or Alibaba and send them to us to install on your bike. If you're thinking that anything that's bad for the environment must function better.
But if you've got an open mind and a little rebel hippie in you, get these. They're most most comfortable, best grips I've used, and they feel great on your skin. There are a zillion ways to use them. Over existing grips, by themselves. over almost any other kind of padding or thick-thing you can stick on your bar. For added grip, twist a couple of medium or fat rubber bands around them. Twine over them if you like. There's a photo below.
Wrap them over with cotton bar tape, twined or not, shellacked or not. This sadly neutralizes the wool, but gives you more cosmetic options.
If you have shellacked cork grips and you find them slippery, either put a whole square of felt over them or just cut about a 1- to 1 1/4-inch wide strip and lay it on top, then hold it there with rubber bands or twine or two zip ties or a couple of wraps of bar tape with a rubber band in the middle. Then you have cork-n-wool!
Great in cold weather, not hot in hot weather. I/Grant have used them for two years. These are one of the best things we offer, and they're close to the cheapest grips you can buy. Do what you like, but here they are. The gray ones are slightly denser than the brown ones. Both excellent, don't give that difference a second thought.

Cut-to-size How-to:
THey come 4" x 5". Even 4-inches is too much for a single wrap over a bare bar, but roll it aroung the bar while the adhesive is still covered, note where you want to cut it, and you can't blow it. A small gap underneath the handlebar won't hurt anything, and if you're using bar-end shifters, a gap is desirable (for the cable housing).
