putting grips on the ultimate lube

<< < (2/5) > >>

I usually stick the kettle on, leave it to boil, place grip and bar ends over steam for a few seconds (but careful of those hands) and then slide the grips on....but you gotta be quick. Then make yourself a cuppa tea :)

brass monkey!:
wd40 or hairspray !!

so, what about getting em off then ??? always a pain in my experience,

SaMAlex:
WD40 kinda melts the rubber on the inside of the grip a tiny bit so it sticks to the bars (after helping to slide it on). Usually, just poking something in the end of the grip (small screwdriver) and spraying in more WD40 will pop them off again.

Its better to use something to lube them on or you will stretch the grip so it will never stick good.

Lots of tugging and yanking :LolLolLolLol:

I take the bars off the bike, sit down, stick my size 11 between the bars, get someone to hold the other end (of the bars!), stick some Heavy Metal on and then pull like mad!!!   :crazy2:
