I have a new T-Line that I’ve already put a couple of hundred km on, and I’m realising that I need better grips as I have nerve pain and numbness in my hands on longer rides.
Ergon seems to be the go to… but after piecing together a bunch of searching, I’m still not clear. I think these are my questions:
- Which Ergons for the T-Line? (Lighter weight = better.)
- Could models with the vertical ends help hand neuropathy?
- Do all models require cutting and/or moving the brake levers? If not, which ones?
- Do any models impact folding. (I need the least hassle possible for frequent urban folding.)
TIA!

1. I’ve got the Ergon GS1 Evo on mine. Didn’t care about weight, it was all about comfort. I like.
2. Yes
3. No, you shouldn’t need to cut anything. You might adjust your brakes/shifter in a 1-2cm, but it’s not much IMO.
4. I have the GP2 on my other Brompton. The horns on the end are about as large as I’d consider. Some do the GP3 without issue.
