Mountain bicycle handle grips, all new, slightly soft black rubber. All apparently first quality. Great for replacements. Not a biker? Try them as bump protectors on mops and brooms and oars. Or for improving grip on fishing and butterfly nets, ski poles, and miscellaneous handles around the factory!! "Rib" means circumferential ribs,. "Smo" means smooth. The "Shift" grips are meant to go over the gear shift ring and have internal ribbing for half their length to grip the shift ring which reduces the stated ID by 1/8". "Knob" means it has knobby circumferential ribs alternating with smooth spaces. "Open" (or "Op") means both ends are open and "Closed" means one end is closed. All except the "Shift"'s are slightly tapered inside for a tight friction fit. We give the maximum ID in the table.
