please advise if anyone using Ergon GS2 Grip? is it good?

ergon grips can rest your palm. but some pple find it too thick to grip properly even for the smallest size.

I prefer the GP series.

You tried the GS3 grips instead? The wing flaps are longer and easier to grip...

i see. current grip is still the original that come when i buying the bicycle and a bit "sour" when cycle more than 1/2 hours.
plan to change it. any other alternative?

still checking in the internet on the store that selling ergon.
however just find 1 store (Unikcycle) that sending GP2.
is there any other store in the east that have GP2, GS2 and GS3? i want to try the actual grip to decide. hehe

That's precisely why i shiver whenever i see singpost, sometimes they can misplace package in their facility..The delivery guy for my area still pretty good so far, at least nv ninja..

So thinking if i should pay for DHL from crc..

I never had any issues with them for many years, until the last one. Now, I don't mind paying extra for specialised courier service like DHL/Fedex/UPS

That's what i thinking also..Ordering about $300 worth of stuff, think paying abit more and knowing it would be delivered to you swee swee is worth it..

Try Hup Leong at Chinatown or Chapter 2 Cycle. I just bought a pair of GP3-S for my friend.

why u never informed SD

in terms of absolute cheapness, CRC wins on a sale day though there are some stuff cheaper on bike24.

what I like about bike 24, is their selection, they are one of the best stocked bike shop they have some brands that only they have ked

I did pick up several good deals though

In my experience, I have found that Bike24 is cheaper on a lot of things. CRC's prices aren't great and can be comparable to SG prices at times. Only really worth it if you buy stuff when they offer free shipping.

check bike-discount too, their prices is good too, except no free shipping
