I tried #Ergon GP2 handlebar grips today on my #Brompton (M bar, 2023 version) - and I have mixed feelings. 😒

After removing the stock grips and trying to fit the GP2’s, the realization came pretty quick: they are roughly 1cm too long. So, I cut them to the right size (as a lot of others also did).

Now they fit nicely, but since the horns are using up space on sides of the grips, my (large) hands don’t have enough space and now my thumbs collide a little with the shifters.

    @brompton @Atemu Thank you very much for the tip! I ordered the “GS1 Evo” yesterday, which also has the mount on the inner side like the GA3 but with a larger palm-rest area, similar to the GP1. Unfortunately, it does not come in so much lovely colors as the GA3 does.

    If the GS1 don’t work for me, I will definitely give them a try!
