How do you put on bike grips?

Answer 1

Hairspray is the key. Cheapo Poundland hairspray.

If you haven't removed your old ones, use a screwdriver to create a gap between the bar and the grip, and spray in some hairspray. Work the grip back and forth using more spray if necessary until the grips are sufficiently lubricated to slide off.

With your new grips simply spray the inside with some of the hair lacquer shake out the excess, and then slide the old boy onto the bar. The hairspray will set after a few minutes leaving the grips securely on the bars.

Job done.

Answer 2

Begin 1" from the stem and wrap toward you, ultimately ending at the hole. Tuck in a quarter to half inch end and secure with a plug. The tape should remain tight as your hand position while rideing is toward you.

Answer 3

lol! um, on my bike there's a kind of lever that you can twist, but they all vary, some screw on whilst others dont - my advice would be to take it to the shop where it was from and ask them! lol! um, on my bike there's a kind of lever that you can twist, but they all vary, some screw on whilst others dont - my advice would be to take it to the shop where it was from and ask them!

Answer 4

Clean all the grease off the bars. Apply a thin film of washing up detergent to the bars. The grips should slide on. If they aredifficult use gloves or a nylon pan scrubber and twist them back and forth into position. Tap the ends gently with a soft mallet or similar, I use a nylon chopping board.

Answer 5

Most come with a bracket that has to be mounted to the handlebar first, then the bag clips on to the bracket.
