  1. hi. I was wondering who has the deathgrip handle, how they like it, and
    about cf bases ect. How strong are they, how well they work, are they
    worth the money. thanks

  2. Contact Scott Wallis at scott (att) Wallisdesign (dott) com.

    I love it. The CF plate is probably the best investment in upgrading
    any MUni or trials set up. The DeRail base with the Thompson seat post
    is mighty light if you're a weight wienie and plenty strong. The grip
    is comfy and, I think adds to a riders level of confidence.

    If you can afford it, go for it. There are many riders using this
    product and everything I ever read from anyone has been great stuff. I
    ride mostly left handed on the handle, but, when I switch, because my
    braking hand gets tired on long descents, I can still hold on to a lip
    on the handle with my right hand.

    For some info on the seat base and handle go here with
    prices.http://www.wallisdesign.com/HANDLEpics.html

    CF is expensive to produce. Scott's prices are VERY fair.

    Cheers.

  3. Mornish,

    I think I know who you are. I was talking to Jake Sprague a few weeks
    ago and he was talking about some 12 year olds that had just joined the
    club. He was telling me some great things about how you and another 12
    yearold were progressing. He was there shaking his head, going,
    Mann!...

    He is watching his rear.

    Go get um tiger.🙂

  4. yea, thanks for the info. I have one of the brand new KH saddles that
    are supposedly stronger than the old ones, and I was wondering if the
    deathgrip handle would work withought the cf base. Thanks

  5. the handle will work with the kh but the point of the carbon fiber base
    is it doesnt flex I have one of the new kh and it flexs way to much so
    I got my CF base coming in the mail

  6. I think basically you get the benfit of the handle being a better shape
    and thuis more ergonomic to use, but not the benfit of it being carbon
    fibre i.e. you don't save much weight and because of the seat base it's
    not any stiffer.
