Safe Grip Removal

Did this, just yesterday!

Squirt dw40 or as I did zippo lighter fluid down the grip, (if you have bar ends all the better cos you can squirt it down the outside end)

work it about a bit, stick on a pair of rubber gloves (for better purchase/kinkiness) and pull like the wind!

takes a little while, if that's not working, try the hot water method, or both, if you're feeling saucy.

try not to punch/elbow wife in face when grip suddenly comes lose!

Do not argue with the nice policeman the neighbors called when they heard the screaming!

Don't struggle while wearing hand cuffs, it will only make it hurt more!

good luck.

PS; If this works for you, can you send me a cake with a file in it?

Safest way to remove grips with no hassle and zero chance of damaging the grips or bars is to use a bicycle pump with one of those little yellow plastic cone adaptors.


Simply attach the adaptor to the end of the pump


and place the adaptor into the end of the grip where the little hole is.


Now place your finger over the other hole and and start pumping.


If you've done it right the grip will slide off with zero effort. Now do the same on the other grip but this time place your hand over the end of the bar itself. Again the grip will simply slide off.

Easy peasy.

JT71:
too much effort, just slide the little placcy tube that comes with your wd40 down between grip and bar, put can on tube, press the button on the can. squide the grip around and it'll slide off.
