I was able to put these grips on without cutting or resorting to the short version you mention. If you don't have the new levers, might be time to upgrade perhaps.<br />My Orange Bromptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527237035726801401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-83597366939476467962014-06-24T21:47:15.581+01:002014-06-24T21:47:15.581+01:00I've read that the version of these that is me...I've read that the version of these that is meant for use with twist gears is shorter, do you think that they might be a better fit on Brompton M bars?<br /><br />Paul, OxfordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-33765866764000785902014-04-25T17:14:35.313+01:002014-04-25T17:14:35.313+01:00I have the other ones and i cut them rather than m...I have the other ones and i cut them rather than move the cables etc as i did not think they would be close enough to my fingers. I could do with fitting something that is slightly longer really altho i am pleased with the non-cork Ergon. Could you put a link to where you got them and what price pls?<br /><br />Laurie -StourbridgeRantBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425410359312882937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-55022774393983209522014-04-23T21:39:27.919+01:002014-04-23T21:39:27.919+01:00Hello.
