roozor Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 How the fudge do i get these monty foam grips on? I've never actually put grips on a bike ever, basicly everything else.

trialskid Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 use some gt85. spray a SMALLish amount on the bar and push the grip on and then leave it for like 5 mins and it should be secure ^_^ works for me anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 GT85! TINY SPRAY AT EACH END OF THE GRIP AND SLIP IT ON, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS IT WILL HAVE EVAPORATED AND YOU ARE READY TO GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTM Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Make sure you put the end caps on or you will be replacing them next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roozor Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Make sure you put the end caps on or you will be replacing them next week ← Those plastic caps they give you? how do they go on, do you put them over the grips, or just on the end of the bars?

JonMack Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 You just whack them into the end of the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 If you're referring to the thin plastic ones, slide them on the bars under the grip.. Feels weird, but that's the way.. Where red is handlebar, green grip and black the plug thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendee Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I soak mine in water and slide them on, easy as pie and they dont take long to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Use hairspray, and put the grips on, so they have a bit of overhang. The roll the ends up (like a jonny) then shove the plastic caps on, then roll the grips back over the plasic caps. It takes some doing! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I havn't tried sprays and stuff, when i had mine i found some shiny plastic strips and put them between the grip and the bar, slid them on (went on easy as pie) then slid out the plastic strips ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I soak mine in water and slide them on, easy as pie and they dont take long to dry. ← Ditto. I find that after I've slid them on, I've sorta wrung all the water out anyway so I can ride with them anyway. They just set straight onto the Pazzaz bars I've got, although I used some GT-85 today for them. Didn't seem to work too well? For me, I just bosh my standard metal bar plugs in. Tried, trusted... Mark. P.S. Seeing as it's done, I'll lock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
