In detail

Soft clear discs that push onto the post and grip it by compression. They are the lightest back available and disappear visually behind the lobe. Silicone throughout with no metal component, so the nickel release limits do not apply. They do wear out — the grip softens with repeated use.

Looking after it

Rinse in warm water and air dry. Replace as soon as the grip feels loose.
