Remove and replace grips with a pint glass full of boiling water and gloves. Dunk the grip in for a couple of mins and then work it off or back on again.

Use nothing else or they will end up slipping off or moving.

Simples ;-)

Also, have a good read of the chrome polishing threads as it is way tougher than powderoating and you've got to see a new coater's work before you trust them with your frame as most out it on too thick.

Welcome to the site by the way!

ED209:
I stick a long thin screwdriver between the grip and bars... quick spray of WD40 ( through the straw ) twist and off.

Clean 'em up with Jif inside and out.

Dry 'em out.

Squirt of hairspray ... slide on ... leave for a bit. Sorted.

Thanks once again lads.

Spen cheers for the welcome, I ain't done any of this since I was a kid so want to get it right.

I've contacted a few coaters near me & will be visiting them all when I get home from offshore to check out their work.

weesteph:
Has anyone on here used any coaters in the Glasgow area in the past?

If you struggle you could post your bits to a coater £20 there and back, worth it for a top job  :daumenhoch:
