Frequently Asked Questions
Are these grips lock-on or slip-on?
The Mini Machine grips are slip-on (regular) style — they do not have an integrated clamp. Use a little isopropyl alcohol or soapy water to help slide them on, and allow them to fully dry before riding for a secure fit.
What handlebars will these fit?
They are designed for standard 22.2mm handlebar diameters, the common size for kids' mountain, BMX, and junior bikes. The 30.5mm outer diameter is intentionally small to match small hands.
How durable is the soft compound?
The single-compound, very soft elastomer provides excellent grip and vibration damping. Soft compounds can show wear faster than hard compounds under heavy use, so inspect regularly; for most kids' and recreational use you'll get solid life out of them with normal care.
Can I use them with grip shifters and brake levers?
Yes — the 107mm length and 30.5mm OD work well with most junior brake levers and twist shifters. Check clearances on very compact cockpit setups to ensure the grips don't interfere with lever reach or shifter bodies.
How do I clean and maintain these grips?
Wipe grips with mild soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid harsh solvents that can degrade the rubber. After cleaning, let them air dry. Replace if you notice tearing, excessive flattening, or loss of tack.
What color options are available?
The Mini Machine is available in Black and Pink, sold as a pair — choose the color that suits your child's bike or style.
Buying Guide
When choosing kids' grips, prioritize diameter and length first — small hands need a reduced outer diameter (around 30–31mm) and shorter lengths (about 100–110mm) so fingers can reach brake levers safely. Consider compound: very soft elastomers increase comfort and traction but can wear sooner than firmer mixes. Decide whether you want slip-on or lock-on styles. Slip-on grips like the Mini Machine are lightweight and simple; lock-on grips add security and are quicker to swap. Match color and material to your child's bike and riding style, and keep an eye on wear — replace grips when the surface flattens or tears appear.
