Grip replacement
I've been using a Lesche digger and I think it's great. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the grip. It's hard and gets slippery in the summer.
After checking a local bike shop, I settled on a lightweight EVA foam bicycle grip. This grip is padded and slip resistant. Cost was $10 for 2 grips.

Very tight. I can't move it.
I couldn't get it on, no matter what I tried. Hairspray (suggested by someone at the bike shop) didn't work. Neither did WD40 or soaking in hot water, so I took it back to the bike shop and let them put it on.

He just kept twisting it and working it. It took him about 15 minutes. He didn't use any lubricant, either.
