Banshee_19 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 So I was out riding in the mud today and both my handlebar grips were slipping, like I could pull them off? what do you guys use to keep your grips from moving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbanshee8 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I've tried every brand of glue imaginable, and nothing works. Wire them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

differentstrokes Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 use any kind of spray enamel on the bars, then slip the grips on before it dries. Give it 15 minutes to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Ive put on 5 sets of grips. Everytime, i've srayed some paint or laquer into the grip, gave it one shake to rid of excess and slid/twisted the grip on. Left alone for the day, viola! Set up, never came off. Some of the grips have twisted a bit during riding, but none have ever come off or even started to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 3m yellow weatherstrip glue almost need a grinder to change grips 521780[/snapback] Word...cheap, big tube...enough to do dozens of grips. Also, I run two small wire loops on each grip. Nothing says ouch like grabbing a handful of throttle and a grip coming off at the same time...

csrmel Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 you must CLEAN the handlebars to get rid of any dirt, grease oil etc, then hit em with some light sandpaper only where the grips cover them up. next clean the crap out of the grips to get rid of any grease, oil dirt etc from the inside. finally put a few drops of superglue onto the inside of each grip, spin the grip so the superglue goes all the way around. install, come back in 30 mins. there you go.

dawarriorman Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I've tried every brand of glue imaginable, and nothing works. Wire them on. 521779[/snapback] Yep, I haven't found anything yet that will hold them solid without wiring them. Most of your glues (spraypaint, hairspray) will hold them on, but they still turn.

DIRTMAN350 Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I use pro-grip grip adhesive or in a pinch use cheap hair spray. Both work really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capone Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 spray paint + wire, they'll never come off unless cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILO Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 i've always used a little dish washing liquid to help them slip on easy. mine haven't slid off yet after about 2 years they may twist a bit over time, but they are on there pretty tight.
