Title: Grip Help Please!
Post by: Flatcap on February 23, 2008, 06:09 PM

I normally put my grips on with hair lacquer but I couldn't find any when I was fitting some new grips so I used some warm soapy-ish water but this was two weeks ago and they're still fooking moving. My problem is I'm riding at Interact tomorrow so has anyone got any quick solutions as I can't ride with them as they are at the minute. I've tried warming them up with the hair dryer but that doesn't seem to be helping much at all.

Any suggestions would be grateful.

Thanks in advance fellas.

Sorted it!

Whipped them off because I lost my fooking rag.

Anyways, put some insulating tape underneath, found some hairspray - extra hold no less - 5 mins with the hair dryer to set and there's no budging them now!

Thanks anyway lads.
