Except in the case of some cruiser motorcycles with 1” bars, all handlebar controls are designed for 7/8” or 22.2mm diameter bars. The difference between standard bicycle bars and motorcycle/moped/BMX bars is the diameter in the center where they mount to the fork.
That is a bonus! I like to buy out the clearance grips when I have the chance LOL
Are you using a thumb throttle?
Regular throttle.
Yeah I don’t understand what you mean then. Do you mean putting a new grip over your throttle? Those are probably not standard.
Gotcha.
Don’t go thumb. They work for electrics because it’s just a spring. But using it for gas with a cable the tension is much higher and will fatigue your thumb fast.
I like a regular throttle. On my ebike I run two throttles, one on the right for acceleration and one on the left mounted backwards for variable regen brake that is twisted forward for brake. It doesn’t sound smart until you try it and it is super natural. I have used thumb and grip shifter throttles for the brake and I much prefer the grip one as even with the super light spring on the electric thumb throttle my finger got tired quick due to the unnatural position it must be in. I’ll be seeing how it is to have a full grip throttle for my brake in a week or so.
It’s hard to say. People like this usually post a lot for a month or two then lose interest. This guy signed up on Saturday and I didn’t have my less than 24hr other forum experience till Sunday night.
Guys like me lose interest when people are trying to be snobby. You don't know anything about me.
You're wrong, DEAD wrong.
I know you said you are an experienced bicycle and motorcycle mechanic, yet here you are with a posting about grips. Sounds like you’re a crappy mechanic.
In that case you should stay on the other forum where people talk a great deal about bikes they’ll never build.
