Hi all
Doing a few swap arounds this weekend.. Am I going to be able to get my lever grips off in one piece or should I just leave them be and buy some new ones (changing my levers).

Im guessing, like the mushrooms, I need some nice hot water soaking for a minute..??

I can't say as the site admins will block me..
Administrators: someone is giving away free beer in the BMX Chat area!!
(Standard trick to get past the admins - I can talk freely now..)
Well, I broke the rule "thow shall not mix schools" and went for some Dirty Harry levers:

But, they still do not work for my shape bars!!! Slightly better than my old ones but not much.. Also, I love the black and white but the clamp part is a little too big visually..
I spent the whole of my childhood a Facebook group trying to find the perfect lever and Im now feeling like that search is back on!! :(

I've been looking around for a mid school lever for my new build-I agree with you on the dirty harry-the casing is a little heavy for skinny bars :-\

Now that the Dirty Harrys are bent, they are perfect and I love the White/black colour. But yes, why with the huge. girthy clamps??!! Im sure ill be changing them again sometime soon bur for the meantime, they work fab..
Oh, and I got the red grips off the old levers and onto the Harrys. Stuck them in boiling water, then yanked them off. Had the put them back into the bioling water the get them on the Harrys, but they now look ace!

Is that a set list by CRASS on your wall?

Woooh!! Very observant :)
Yes, it is. Went to see them couple of years ago and had back stage passes. Watched them from the side stage and when they finished, I went and got the list which was taped to the floor for the drummer.
Crass are my #1 heros so the set list is huge for me..
