Ode to another set of grips...


Im gonna keep this up until I get forgetful about it. So in my salute to this set of grips that arguably should have been replaced about 3 months ago I can only think of the good times. Uncle Nyquist offered em to me about 4 different times and I always feel weird accepting things from him, but they were unique Carhartt grips which is a denim work clothing type company so I was kinda stoked that Id have a one off set of grips. After needing em for awhile I caved and accepted em. Soft and fairly thin, greyish color so not a bad look on my bike. They were the best pair of grips ive had in some good long time even when they became a grip set going from 2 grips to 3 grips I still loved em the same. They throttled from time to time, but always were ready for another run through the trails or a day at the park. When I finally went down and fired out the watts gap, it was these grips that accompanied me. I broke a pedal that day, but the grips? They were there for me. First 360's and flips in the post office hip line. Again the good ol carhartts held true. I am going back to an old favorite grip the cleveland signatures, and Im sure it will be a good trip with them, but the carhartts have been a blast and sure any grip could have been the grip to get it all done but facts are facts. Carhartts got a special mojo on em for sure. Til we shred again fellas!
