What's Your Favourite Kind Of Handle?
Title says it all pretty much....But I was wondering because I thought a regular plastic handle is nice...But have not tried anything else.
- Plastic Regular (Comes on a KH or Torker DX or any unicycle practically) - Deathgrip - Reeder - Kinport - Miyata style handle (Torker LX and Miyata) Isaac |

I've only have miyata and normal style but I like normal handles better. The miyata style makes my fingers feel cramped.

Drilled out KH? Is that like making the hole that is in it bigger so your hand can go around it? If so I want to try that....

How effective is the CF Death Grip handle? It looks nice to hold, but what about it's ability to take a hit? That may end up being a real drawback...not that I know or anything.

They should make a plastic deathgrip handle aviliable so the price would be lower and you woulndt have to worry about it shattering.(but i dont think thats a big problem)

Can someone post links to pictures of all handles, please? I've never seen a kinport or a deathgrip. What's the difference between all of them?

The death grip handles are a bit pricey but they are also guaranteed and Scott Wallis will replace them if they break for any reason. By the way, I absolutely love the death grip coupled with the v grip handle. Great for two-handed Coker climbing. Later.

My Deathgrip has whacked into rocks many a time, with no ill-effects. Great ergo shape also! Only slight drawback is it can get slippery if you sweat too much...
That said, I would want a completely different type of handle for touring than for MUni or other types of riding. The Deathgrip (and most unicycle seat handles) is for pulling up on, while a touring handle is more for resting your weight on.
