Grips for straight handlebar French MBK 23.5mm diameter

[Wilder]

Hi,

I’m trying to find some new grips for my sister’s French MBK bike that has straight handlebars. The bike is probably 30 year’s old. It appears that the handlebars grip diameter is larger than 22.2 so probably the old French standard of 23.5mm. I had been originally been planning to fit Ergon grips but that doesn’t look like it’s going to work as they are designed for 22.2mm grips.

Anyone got any suggestions for good handlebar grips that does involve replacing the 25mm stem and the handlebars. Are there any good ergonomic grips available in 23.8mm diameter?

I think bmx grips are usually 22.2mm

I think the OP means he needs wider than 22.2

Ebay threw up a US based and thus costly vintage grip hit

That's right, I'm after something bigger than 22.2 mm. I expect if I could find a 23.8mm handlebar grip for straight handle bars what would work if they exist.

Sorry mis-read your op
