Grips finally arrived albeit after the bike was gifted. A bit unsure as they look so much chunkier than the OEM ones. Bigger than the Cnoc16 too. My OH says return them and leave it. The tatty nature erks me.
Also the height is very tight. Possibly a bit tall for my 4yo's 103cm to learn on as their on tiptoes. So I was wondering about switching out the front seatpost spacer for a penny washer.
Normally there's a fair bit of room on double clamp posts isn't there?
They were bare footed, so with shoes it might just nudge over. The other option is a replacement bolt with a domed head. But I don't have one, and I do have washers. I'm really just looking to gain a few mm's here unti they grow a tiny bit more so they can firmly flat foot to start.

I had this grip issue, I just put a few layers of tesa fabric tape under and a cheap aliexpress grip on top, worked fine
Cheers.
I'm assuming they'll fit fine as they're 19mm inner. Just procrastinating over whether they're too chunky for little hands. I'm sure they'll be fine.
Plus I cba to work out how to return them to Holland (which I didn't notice the shop was in at the time of purchase).
