BrianEb Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have some Pro-Grip Grips and they want to slide right off my Tag T2' Bars. I went to Baja MX in MI this Sunday and the grips were sliding right off the bars. I was afraid I was going to bail hard. What do people use to make em' stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reded Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Safety wire and grip glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Grip glue didn't work for me. Instead I use 3M spray adhesive and safety wire. You can get the 3M spray at Home Depot, Menards, or a similar store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelbanshee2 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ive never had luck with grip glue. Always uses clear spray paint and safety wire is a must!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyBoy Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Just safety wire. I haven't used or needed anything else. If you have soft grips, some adhesives will break down the grips. Take an old set of soft grips and spray them with either. They dissolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreestyler Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 my grips were like that and i wrapped electrical tape around the bar and put the grip over it and it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyBoy Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Electrical tape will slip as soon as it gets warm and the adhesive gets gummy and hot. Not at all what you want in a MX race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I used spray laquer. It was in a cabinet in th egarage. woulda used spray paint if needed. Used this on 4 sets of grips. Never slid off. Throttle grip turns ever so slightly now and again. But never tried to come off. Never used the wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeBrian Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 How does the wire trick work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 3 wraps of safety wire around each end of the grip. the trick is to bend the twisted portions in so that you dont hurt yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switchblade Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I use that 1/2 inch grip tap you can get at any home depot. Then a little carb cleaner on the inside of a soft compound grip like a dury. This melts the grip a little and when you slip the grip over the handle bar with the grip tape on it acts like glue.

BdBanshee Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I use 3M spray 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John19 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I use an air compressor, stick the nossle underneath the grip inflate it to put it on and let off. Been doing it for years, never had to spend a dime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
