Ergon GP2 grips with cut original grips?
Hey all
I ordered a set of Ergon GP2 grips for my Escape 3 that were in a 50% off sale. Great deal, or so I thought but then the site I ordered them from listed the wrong model and I got the version for twist shifters instead, which are about an inch shorter. Rather than send them back I was thinking of removing the original grips except for an inch or so and combining them that way. Has anyone done that before? Any pics to share?
Cheers.

I did this also and it always bothered me. I was also the only one who noticed.

Send them back, and get the right ones!
I have both Ergon, and Specialized. I like the Specialized better, as they are a tad softer, and more comfortable, plus the clamp is on the inside, not where your hand is at. They still give plenty of support, and come in colors.
