What color? I have some black with yellow Spiders that we were going to use on my wifes Tag bars. But she went with black and pink instead.

I've never ridden with spiders, but have seen them. I can't see how they can be all the great for grip since they're basically smooth with a little raised waffling. But, like I said I haven't used them.
My first XC race, my hands got destroyed using the stock grips. I had 3 or 4 huge blisters with the skin missing on each hand! And yes, I was wearing gloves. It was nasty, and a very painful ride home trying to hold the steering wheel. I switched to ProGrip Gel motorcycle grips. They are awesome! I've only had one little blister since. They lasted the whole season last year and are still in good shape. Since they're wrapped in gel, they're a little fatter than most grips- which I like. Only catch is they're a little on the costly side since you have to buy two sets, but they've proven to be worth it to me at about $30 for both.
As far as flanges on the inside of the grip, I definitely prefer them. They really help to keep tired hands on the grips. They have to be a small flange, though, or they'll catch the thumb throttle.
I bet that doesn't help your grip decision much now does it?!!

what do you mean by putting them on with the air compressor I have never put grips on so I am lost. Jasp let me look on spiders websight and see what they look like and I will let ya know!

You take an adapter to make it just blow air. lift grip insert adapter squeeze trigger grip gets all puffy and slide onthe grip. When you do the second side poke a hole in the end of the other grip or it will pop off due to pressure. I speak from experience.
