This http://www.renthal.com/File/product3.asp plus this http://www.progrip.com/default.asp?tip=8&ite=gri#top in a #737
equals little or no arm pump.
I had one of my longer rides Sunday and as sore as I was I realized now I only had one small amount arm pump and it went away pretty quick.
The 737 grip is larger than a waffle but a tad smaller than the 714. It fits me better.
I have been wanting to get a set of Flexx bars and admittedly have not ridden with a set. Besides the cost, the problem is the lowest height Flexx is to too tall for me and my BRP sub mount. The sub mount raises the bar 1".
I did a lot of looking for a bar that would help cut the vibes, besides the Flexx.
It came down to two, the Sunline with it's filled core and the Twinwall.
Renthall does not promote at all that the Twinwall cuts vibes but I couldn't help but think it would. With the outer core clamped and the inner core isolated. Or is it isolated, I don't know. Maybe the vibes are worse, who knows till ya try?
I ordered up the lower McGrath bend with plans on installing a bar snake and my Faast anti vibe inserts. The bar came before the snake did and when I tried to install the inserts, they wouldn't go. The bar is already filled with something.
I am not going to say everything is perfect and it's silky smooth, but it's better and right now I am a happy camper.
I can recommend both these items.
