Plastic Deathgrip Handles?

Only if you have an even more expensive CF base


Yeah thats true. I already had mine...
If you are breaking seats and parts then it is still worth it.
Getting one strong but expensive seat is better than getting multiple
plastic ones. When I had a plastic seat I was able to pull on the
handle and fold it in half.

MY base is starting to flex a lot, maybe I should get a CF base once it
breaks. =p

But the only base I want would be the Scott Wallis base, so then id
need a Primo or Thompson post. lol

I used to break seatposts and seat bases like they were going out of
fashion.

I HIGHLY reccommend getting a similar set up to mine, it is strong and
quite cheap.

I have a UDC (Roger) CF base, KH handle and a CrMo seatpost. This is a
strong set up and I haven't broken the base, only snapped a few posts
and I think one handle. Definatly worth it.

Yeah, mine folds about half of that, but pretty much all the power is
taken out of hops. I just do SIF for almost all of my riding, exept
when I'm doing skinnies. I think most of the reason it's so weak now is
that it fell about 5 feet and landed on the saddle. A miracle nothing
broke,but thats another story...

i've been working on a plastic reeder-esque handle, and i'm sure a
deathgrip could come too...

(it's all still in the works, though.)

I'm happy with my KH handle, wouldn't exchange it.

you only find CF bases expensive until the very first time you use them

I imagine the same is true with the deathgrip handle

I think a plastic deathgrip would flex too much way before it broke off

I have the same set up and it rocks hardcore. Except I have a custom
seat cover that I made cause I'm so cool I can sew.

Strength is not the only benefit of CF, it is very stiff making hopping
easier.
This is my setup with custom additude cover by me:
