Source / Bike Grip ?

[going_home]

We need to help Airgun Designs find a source for the bike grip rubber.

The foam stuff is embarrassing to us the mag community.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Lets go boys !

The foam is pretty bad, reminds me of an alley cat

I use Jonal Laboratories at work for various rubber applications. They are not cheap, but they are high quality.

I definitely prefer the rubber over the foam. However, my top choice is simply a hard foregrip -- aluminum, carbon fiber, etc. There's no foam or rubber on X/E-mag battery packs or the super-majority of aftermarket foregrips.

There are so many nice bike grips out there. Trouble is the length.

Nothing wrong with the actual foregrip, what they need is something worthy of an Automag besides the cheap looking foam.

Looking at the SandFX markers is what got me thinking about this, the foam doesnt belong on those markers at all....

I assumed this was what made you start this thread. I thought the same thing at first sight.

Why not buy something like this and cut them to fit?

What's wrong with the vintage bike grip?

[luke]

What can I say? I'm a 70's kid and think this is about the coolest bike ever made, the bikes I remember as a kid had the vintage grips I posted before.

Banana seat and high rise handle bars.

Had one like it early 60's.

Dave and I have looked really hard to find these. The company that made them is out of business.

Which ones?

[halB]

Is there something bad about contracting with a company that makes actual bike grips? Is there some complication to that?

[BigEvil]

Which ones?

The old stock ones.
