I bought some lucid medium clear spray on. Got some grip tape. Couldnt decide. Then I rode.
I cant see how I need anything at all. I tend to shift stance a lot, and adding grip would make that feel funky. Yes, I have an inch drop, and that is all the stay on I need. I have heard that if your shoes get wet, that changes, but I dont ride thru water.
It just occured to me, that a good alternative would be a textured paint, if possible clear. Such as wrinkle paint, or such. It would grip, and would not collect dirt.
Anyone tried anything different than the two usual grips?
There is a line of glitter paint, by krylon, and rustoleum, the rust… one is very textured. Looks great too. I dont know how tough it is, but a hard polyurethane could be applied over, thinly and keep the texture. It is smoothish rough, so would not stain and dirty fast.
Grip doesn’t make it much harder to change your stance, But it does make it much harder for your stance to change unintentionally due to vibration etc…
