Though they are not as popular any more, most shops should be able to get them for you still. As for removal or to put them on for that matter I like to use compressed air to put them on or remove them. Just put the rubber tip of a blower under and they guild right off, well at least most of the time. Steven

My early 80's Erickson has some foam grabons which are really wonderful but
the feller I bought the bike from has the levers set too low for my taste.
Is there anyway to safely remove the grabons w/o detstroying them?
Or does anybody know if they are still being made or available?

Mike,
We have the original (thick) version on hand. They are hard to get from time to time. They sell in our shop for a little under $18.00 a set. While they seem to last forever compared to the Asian knockoffs I suspect they would have a much better texture new.
