DrTricky on August 2, 2025 9:58 pm Depends in how much money you want to spend. You could change the grip shifts for standard shifters and then you should have room for normal grips.
RobertMullz on August 2, 2025 10:18 pm If you’re getting grips similar to the ones on there or ones made out of foam, you can always cut them to size with an exacto knife or something.
Ok_Interaction_842 on August 2, 2025 10:29 pm Ergon make grip shift compatible grips with the little bullhorn nub at the end. Not cheap though!
Hagenaar on August 2, 2025 11:38 pm Those shifters aren’t meant to be used with normal grips. Your hands are supposed to be partly on the shifter and partly on the grips. Change to thumb or trigger shifters to make the best use of long grips.
