Road bike foam grips. Low profile, comfortable and doesn't give you nerve problems like some rubber gives guys. And it conforms to the shape of your hand over time.

That or bar wrap. You wrap that as tight or big as you want. Only bummer is it you're into big riding. I find it migrates unless you glue it down.

my friend who rides trials(I don't) was getting like sore hands with reg grips so now he is using foam grips and he seems to like them.

lock on grips are heavy, foam is way better, cheap and more comfterable for your hands. I use try-all grips. The foam has to be thinner than regular foam grips so you can still get the full grip of your bars. The only down fall is if you put your bike on a rock, the grip gets torn. But foam is way better and worth $10-$15.

mmmm gloves solve most grip problems. Just get one that isn't too thick and made of soft rubber. Any hard rubber grip feels terrible

I'm using Da Bomb Holy Shit grips because I liked them on my freeride bike but they kill your hands when riding Trials:

I'll probably switch to foam grips or just get a big squirt of Harden the F@#k Up & rub it in well.

That was with gloves Redface I have to have my brake lever at a steep angle because I broke my wrist last year & don't have the same range of motion in it anymore. I also wear a wrist brace & I think that might chafe while I'm riding. I got a blister under the existing callous which popped & it all curled up into itself.

*TIP* Don't use any sort of spay on bandage on this type of injury, I nearly chewed my bottom lip off it stung so much Eek

try edwin de la rosa grips. Ive used them for 2 years and haven't gotten a blister. Calises are inevitable, but good grips should stop your hands from blistering.
