Re: Replacing grips

The easiest way to put grips on is used the air gun and blow air into the small hole and it slides right on...or soapy water just make sure it drys prior to riding Now as far as securing the grips you have several choices 1. grip glue (which is messy as hell) 2. use small metal wire.. (loop it around your grip) 3. Ziptie.. (also wrap it around your grip).. im sure there are a buch of other ways but these are the ones i tried...

Re: Replacing grips

aqua net hair spray, when it dries its like glue. if you still have problems with them spinning your holding on too tight and you most likely also suffer from severe arm pump.

Re: Replacing grips

I always spray a little clear spray paint into the grip, then it slides right on, let it dry overnight and your good to go.

i guess you could use any spray paint, it doesn't have to be clear!
