Specialized ergo grips are nice and comfy for palms

Make sure you order the correct size

+1 for the above

I got some of these a week ago as a replacement for more expensive Ergons (that were on the stolen bike).

Very pleased with them (Ergons are very good too, btw)

I use Ergon GP1s, they seem good http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=9686

Another fan of Ergon grips here. I've got Ergon GP1s on my Dahon, and they're extremely comfortable.

I use the ergon gp3s and they are much better than the stock rubbish that came with my bike.

That's what I have on my hybrid, more by luck than choice.

+1 on Ergon, GA1's on the MTB and GP1's on the flat bar road, worth paying the extra on contact points

thanks for the advice guys looks like i can get some for a reasonable price too,thought i might have to pay a little more so well happy

The ergons are about a Tenner more. Have a look in shops

I've just swapped my bars over and put Lizard Skins bar tape on which was what I had on my previous bars. Really comfy and well padded tape, £27.99 for it tho. I do a lot of miles on the bike so don't mind paying for the comfort.
