Removing grips without damaging them or the bars ???

(1/7) > >>

Funkyworm:
Ok , bit of a novice thing to be asking but i wondered if anyone had a reasonable way to do this?

Back in the day we used some WD & slid a kitchen Knife down the grip to enable the oil to loosen the grip from the bars with varying degrees of success injuries & damage caused to the both grips bars ourselves & any unfortunate passers by...... :-X

I need to remove some grips from my bars as I think I'm adding some tech 6 levers which need to slide on so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers ! :daumenhoch:

Take bars off.dip the grips in hot water one at a time and with your fingers stretch the hole so as much water gets down as poss.Take out of water and wrestle off with tea towel.It works,done it a few times :daumenhoch:

Hairspray  ;) Spray it in and work it down and they will slide off  :daumenhoch: Use it 2 fit aswell cos it evaporates and lightly sticks the the grips 2 bars  8) U should have seen my misses face when I bought a can  :LolLolLolLol: being folically challenged she said " what the fook do u want that 4" and pissed herself laughing  :2funny:

Rodgy1970:
Feed WD40 or straw down between bar and grip.

Squirt, feed and twist the grip should come off no problem.

sawzall:
i use a lolly stick,work it down the grip with washing up liquid,then move your way around grip

repeating the process and it should slide off :daumenhoch:
