I’ve been wanting to get a set of ergon grips for my rigid singlespeed for a while now. I am hoping the ergo shape will ease the palm pain on longer rides, and the dinky bar-ends will provide some more hand positions and some out of the seat gruntability.
Anyway I picked up a set last night and hve yet to fit them. The first thing I noticed in not so much “ergo” but more “eco”. The display packaging they come in us both impressive and ridiculous, it is way over the top. I can see the need for a company to promote it’s product well in a point of sale situation. However in my situation I chose the product before I saw them in real life or in their natural packaged state.
Wonder if they offer refunds?
Maybe ergon could provide a “downloadable” version of their product in a more eco friendly OEM style packaging. Mildly ironically I ordered a the team green colour option, turns out this colour is not available in Australia.
Ouch! This is what happens when I get a BMX racer on my singlespeed 29er and forget to take note of the upcoming trail conditions. Juicy!
At least I didn't damage my jersey.
Tough!

This is a cool video showing the Cannondale production line and and automated wheel building.
Some of it cool machines, some repetitive labour.
