vice and gentle teasing

I use the vice with a nice bit of rubber or hard wood to stop the vice from marking the chrome :)

If you havn't got a vice use an adjustable spanner with cloth in the jaws to gentle tweek it straight  :daumenhoch:

Thanks chaps, will try the vice & some padding.

What's the best way to remove grips without damaging them?

Also the best way replace them, hairspray?

1mancity2:
Take the bars off the bike, get some warm soapy water and pour onto the grip were it meets the bar, gently twist the grip to allow the water to get in, leave for a couple of minutes and they should twist off easy.

Putting them on I usually clean the bars and grips inside then just dampen the end of the bar and twist on.  :daumenhoch:
