Hi people i know this is a stupid question,but my handle grips keep sliding off,what is the best way to make them stay on without super glueing them,so i can take them off when i have to change my bars.
I used to know a trick,but buggered if i can remember it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe the trick you're thinking of is hair spray? That's one I remember from my early teen BMX days; makes it easy to slide 'em on, but dries tacky enough to keep 'em there. Failing that, a couple companies (Grab-On?) make an adhesive just for grips.

Clear laquer works, as does W/D 40 so I'm told.

Many thanks for the info guys,i ended up washing the bars and grips in warm soapy water,thoroughly dried them,then dipped in warm water and slid them on,and woo-la and now they fit as tight as a drum.Many thanks for your replies,it was apreciated.http://triumphrat.net/images/forum/subject/icon14.gif

Glad you got it. For the future though, I always use rubbing alcohol, first to clean the bar, and then pour a little inside the grip. Always works and always easy then to remove later on.
