Anyone have anything they'd like to rant about?

SDG makes 19mm kids grips too.

Locally, a metric crapton learn via NICA, which is all about coaching how to act on the trail as it is how to ride on the trail.

Thats awesome. Many kids here will learn thru them too, these kids are everywhere. I wonder if they teach the enjoyment of getting a stick to make a channel to drain a puddle off the trail? Most times it does't take long to do. Its satisfying when on an out-and-back and see almost all the water gone from a puddle on your way back. I feel like Im the only one - or on the flip side everyone does it way before I ride the trail, ha. Who knows.

Evdog thats ridiculous!

I will often do this when I am out. Moreso when I'm hiking. Creek running down the trail? Often it just takes a little work to move a few rocks that are preventing things from flowing off-trail. 5 minutes later the problem is pretty much gone. I know this probably is not a long-term solution, but I feel like it helps.

I think they mostly teach them to ride in groups of 20, sprint like mad for 200-300 yards and then all stop in the middle of the trail for a few minutes.&nbsp;</p>

SharedSkittles, me too. Its not like we are heros saving trails but a little work helps.
ZZZ, but they all say thank you have a good ride when you pass them or they pass you over and over and over...did you see todays announcement of the new NICA racing trail near Snowbasin? Sounds like a great trail but it will be your worst nightmare, ha.

And built by Alan Wheelright. So it will &nbsp;be 7 miles of way too many switchbacks that feels like its &nbsp;uphill both directions. Awesome. But hey, maybe it will contain a ton of NICA kids and they wont be spread all over the good trails?&nbsp;</p>

Apparently handlebars on kid's bikes come in two diameters; normal adult size (22.2mm), and a smaller diameter that's 19mm, which makes sense since kids have small hands. Except grips for the smaller size are basically non-existent, and unsurprisingly my kids destroy grips. Any online search for 19mm grips just yields tons of shitty Amazon links to grips that are not actually 19mm.

Funn appears to be the only company making actual 19mm grips, but I think the ones they make are too long to fit on my kid's bar. We'll see.

I think I’ve still got some leather strips if you want to make some retro grips. Fits any size bar!

ODI lockon are probably the slimmest adult sized grips so i use a 27$ work glove with big knuckle strip for riding which protect and last forever


ODI have 2 lock rings on each grip so if junior is dropping the bike on the bar the outer end ring protects the grip


I like them because I transport my bike on its side in a PU also tagging trees in the singletrack destroys grips
