    XT would be great, SLK if that's what you can afford. Strongly recommend 4-pots for you on that bike. @backcountryj didn't you have some XT brakes or did you unload those?

    From what I have read, these Guide R's are just weak 4 pots haha. Brake upgrades were recommended on the Trance's I was looking at too, so it has been on my to-do list.

    I didn't like the grips so I am swapping those as well - anyone have a preferred style?

    They gone.

    I’m partial to Ergon. Grips can be pretty personal though, especially if you go gloveless.

    I use gloves just out of learning experiences. Last major crash was years ago (didn’t ride for awhile in college due to $), but I absolutely tore my palms up

    I run gloves because I'm a sweaty pig..

    Probably a dumb question, but I’m assuming the shorter side of the grip goes forward like in this pic?

    they actually have a "front" label on the grips. it'll be obvious.

    That's the top you are looking at, but as Scotty said, it'll be clear when you get them.

    Yes, like airplane wings.
    I think thats the same model I'm currently running. Mine are more of a translucent green, which is a useless data point.
    Its possible I'm misremembering, but I don't think front is indicated. It says 'up' on the lock on.
