Ode to my grips...


Some things in life are just always there. Period. Hell or high water some things are just ALWAYS going to reliable. Well after a good 2 years of faithfulness today I finally cracked down and bid farewell to my Fit Cleveland grips. These things had been with me on some of the greatest days and even the shitty days. Whenever I needed a ride to/from work, a good session, a ride to the store, etc etc etc. The good ol clevelands never let me down. Rob @ Cali bikes gave them to me sometime ago and being white I immediately put them on and the rest is history, I remember the moment I realized they wouldnt last forever after the rain got under them. I could count all the times people asked why the hell my grips had a huge hole and why I didnt get new ones. In my life I've probably given away 100 sets of grips from s&m, fit, solid, and odi but continued to keep rockin the thinnest ones I could find. Time has flown and the only upside to having to say goodbye to the white clevelands is the fact that Ill be rockin the Stay Strong Yellow s&m thin grips. Goodbye to a white and brown setup that matched so well, and welcome to the "why the hell do you have yellow grips?" era.
