[Marc W/fastcap]

Hey everyone, I’m newbie here and would like your opinion on something.
I work for a company out of Bellingham Wa. called FastCap and we’re Beta testing an amazing new product called “MY GRIP! ” It’s a special rubberized material that you heat in hot water for 1min, wrap around your bike grips for a custom grip and squeeze. Once fully cooled (5-10min) you’ll have a hardened rubber grip that’s perfectly molded to your hand! For a limited time I’m looking for anyone interested in trying these out for FREE! Just shoot me an email with a preferred shipping address and I’ll send them to you. The only thing I need from you is your feedback ASAP and any suggestions to help us better our products! To see more on the product and how it’s used you can go to www.Fastcap.com , Vimeo.com or YouTube and type in Fastcap MY GRIP . Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you!
LAAAAAATRR!
Marc

Solid idea horse, but this particular technology is not really apllicable to bike riding of any kind, especially DH/XC/etc... we all tend to move our hands from position to position on the bars depending on what one is doing at that particular moment. Cornering, rough stuff, jumps, turn-bars! Etc...Sorry horse, stick with hammers.

 

[DiRt DeViL]

Wondered the same, the hands move a lot and having a piece of rubber molded on a certain hand position doesn't sound comfortable.

My kid and I are willing to given them a try.

And hard plastic would be utter crap for grips, not to mention we almost all use lock-ons of some type now.

I may get some for my hammer though.

 

[CountryBoy]

Sounds like the stuff they use for footbeds in ski boots.

 

[syadasti]

It sounds like the material they use for cheap at home "custom fit" dental appliances (tooth whitening trays, anti-snore mouthpiece, etc). Those aren't hard plastic but as mentioned people move their hands around on the grips.

 

[Iridemtb]

Color fade, durability, comfort...

Will they wear so much after use that you get blisters in between your fingers from the grooves that form by your hands constantly moving over the grips. What . Also, what about us twist shifter users...

It just doesn't sound conventional for biking.

 

[joelsman]

another company had these before, I had seen an article in a magazine a while ago, maybe MBA, nobody seemed to buy them back then and prolly won't now IMO.

I will continue to buy lock-on grips that are round and are very easy to install.

fraser = internet police...

no really innovation is good but nothing will beat lock on systems...they just work and you never have to worry about them...i am interested in this for my laptop computer bag handle

I have no interest in these but man, some of you need to at least read what was posted.

These are not hard or plastic - clearly states they are rubber, you heat it during molding and then it "hardens" to its permanent shape. Does not mean its hard or plastic.

These are also not replacements for your grips - they go around your grips to provide a personalized grip.



Personally, I'm not interested and dont care to even try them but some people need to at least read what was offered and if you're curious, try them.

If nothing else, it's interesting for other applications...

 

[Loozinskin]

I'm in the Bellingham area (Lynden) and would be down for a test.

I think it'd be really great on an ax I use to split firewood, actually.

 

[jerseydirt]

I think this is the exact material a sports mouth gaurd is made out of. That kind that you boil in water and you bite it to make an impression only they are using a bit softer of a compound.

 

[zahgurim]

I'm somewhat interested... I like how it goes over your existing grips, making them a bit thicker.
I have monster sized hands, and find even Ourys to be on the thin side.

 

[super_man]

I will bite. Me and my dad will have a pair. PM me your email.
