rs thumb grips - rubber/latex filler?

[MICKSID]

has anyone ever looked into rubber or latex filler,

just sounds a simpleish solution to the annoying problem.

just thinking of injection moulding can remember doing it in Technologyy at school

quite simple if u can get the mould right.

K-tec are doing carbon ones as part of a wheel retrim. Not cheap though.

^^^ how can we get a set? havent seen them on the site?

 

[Tigger]

Chances are, if you get the carbon thumbgrips you will need your wheel retrimmed too as they are made from cheap crap that melts in the sun :dead:

 

[jack_davey]

Yeah I was thinking about doing mine in alcantara though, looking at the pictures of K-tec's one, I'm not entirely convinced on the quality of the work, theres loads of creases all over the place. Call me picky but for £200 + VAT I want to be happy!

 

[Tigger]

^ Mother of God you are hard to please lol

 

[jack_davey]

lol! Yeah I am damn picky, but that is why they call me Terry Tibbs!
