The grips are strong V's. Just been out to play in rush hour traffic for the first time since fitting the drops and it's as good as i expected. The handling is far less twitchy than with the risers but just as fast to react cos of the 650 wheel.

The easy way to put any Keirin grips on...including soyos which i had before is with hairspray....plenty in the grip and on the bar.....slide em on...then leave for a few hours....sets them rock solid....then wipe excess off the rest of the bar. Presto. :)

It's surprising what a difference bars make,with top drop bar position and risers.You would'nt think there would much difference.Mind you,a low pro fixed with a 650 front wheel,in my mind spells "pure speed"!.Great innit!
Nice tip on the Keirin grips.I think i've seen posts on here where every type of liquid/fluid has been used.Hairspray by the sounds of it has the added bonus of fixing them in place.Cheers.
