Both grips were kept at standard length. Shifting feels the same even with the extra length.
I cleaned the handlebar with Windex and used rubbing alcohol to install the grips. I put a nickel in each grip to act as bar end caps. That should prevent the handlebar from punching a hole through the grip.
UPDATE NOVEMBER 17, 2011: The combination of these grips and the Misfit Psycles FME bar gives me a lot more knee/handlebar clearance for those super tight, slow speed turns.
UPDATE NOVEMBER 29, 2011: I left out two points that may help prevent the grips from twisting.
- I wrapped the ends of my handlebar with 4 revolutions of duct tape (just the width of the tape) to make it a little thicker.
- The handlebar ends stick pass the grip a bit. You can see it a bit on the 3'rd picture on this post.
