No worries then, anytime after 6:15 this week is easiest for me. Let me know whenever.

Have we got thumbs-up for these?

 

[tonyt]

not done any more on these to be honest, the first attempt failed so I imersed a mould in resin and its still imersed lol...

will get round to this asap and have a go at making one... failing that I can always try and fix any that are really bad..

all the best

defo look at getting them donewill have lots of interest

depending on what happens in the next week or so i might have a RS wheel you can play with for as long as it takes and get them grips 100%

btw the wheel is missing the grips completely

but im sure that if you could produce cf grips witout the need of the crappy rubber bit it would be better for cliosporters

yeah that would be a big help hutchie, i'm currently fixing a pair for a guy on here but ideally full replacements wiould be better.. tried the rubber option but just not happy, so maybe full carbon replacements are the way to go...

pm me if the wheel becomes available, and of course if i can sort something i'll obviously give you a free pair..

Dying for a pair of these.

 

[tonyt]

well, the rubber version has gone nowhere guys, struggling a bit...

however, repaired a pair for frosty as promised, and they look pretty good in my opinion... took me a couple of weeks to repair, carbon and resin, and to be honest the time spent on these is more then I could justifiably charge for, but your opinions are welcome... still need a final tidy on the bottom edge and a final coat of resin, but i think frosty will be pleased with the result when he gets them (hopefully later this week)

comments welcome

Whats the chance of copying these? I need a right one, as the one you sent me just wouldnt fit

 

[tonyt]

couldnt really copy them ben, sorry, I think the best I can do at the minute is a covering option, how come yours wouldnt fit as all I did was cover your original one, so the back of it that fixes to the wheen should have simply stuck straight back down?

if its the actual carbon thats too "big" yu could simply sand it down with some 240 wet n dry...

let me know

Yeh i think its just the carbon on top thats to big to fit in snugly, the first one for the left hand side was perfect. But i think the right one was soo bad, it had past the point of no return

hey im new on here and just read the hole thread and the idea is awesome. I think pretty much everybody will be interested including me.
my right grip is mega f**ked. cant wait too see if you release em
