Default Gel Grips

I was thinking about getting some gel grips, are they one size fits all? I was looking at these ones and it says 125mm. Any brands I should stay away from?

These Pro Grips are the ones I have. They are noticeably more comfortable than the stock grips. I have the red ones. They look pretty good too!

I used to have the pro grips, and also liked them. I would not recommend them for hot climate states though. When I lived in Florida then kinda melted and got real tacky.

I live in Phoenix, Az. (where it has been averaging about 102 deg & going to get hotter) & I have not had that problem at all. It may be that I park it in a garage and it only sits out in the sun for long periods of time while I am at work. I dunno. Maybe they react differently in humid climates. I love these grips!
