Mikey Tomo Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Peel back a bit and put a screwdriver underneath the grip, spray inside with WD40, Bobs your uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith!! Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Dip a spoke in some water then push it into the grip, once its all the way to the other side you can twist them and pull them off, its easy enough once you get the hang of it, dont use wd40, it will make your grips spin when you put them back on, use a bit of water to put them back on and leave it to dry.

Mikey Tomo Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 it will make your grips spin when you put them back on Put a cloth through the inside to dry it all out and then put hairspray inside your grip when you put it back on, once the hairspray has dried you get no slipping , Fanny's your Aunt.

MiuSliS Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Peel back a bit and put a screwdriver underneath the grip, spray inside with WD40, Bobs your uncle.Actually, water would've done the same job and after it dried the grip wouldn't slip. I always use water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use water! exactly, its easyer, cheaper, and works better, less faffing about afterwards and you dont have to use hairspray to make them stick.

WIGAN Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 you dont have to do any of this crap the harder you squeez a grip to pull it off the more it sticks itself to the bar just get your finger tips behind the grip and it just pulls off, easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROYston Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Try drilling 4 holes at the end-ish of your bars.Apparently stops slip grips, i saw this on cirrus bmx bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
