Posted by sspomer on 9/10/2019 7:43 AM

The Good:

Overall Review: Full disclosure- I picked up my first Knuckledusters because Deity is a local company, and they’re good folks. But the second set I bought specifically to go on a rigid bike. They’re that good. The three patterns do seem a bit like they’re trying to do to much in one grip, but it works really we...
