Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Rubber Grips on the Handlebars
  • Put the straw of the air canister under the grip.
  • Pinch the end (can be done with pliers), and use the gap created to slip the straw in.
  • To separate the grip, you may use a screwdriver or another long, skinny tool allowing you to gain leverage underneath the grip.
  • While spraying air underneath the grips, pull on the grips with enough force to move them off the handlebar.
  • The air will separate the grips from the handlebars.
  • If more force is needed, you may use an air compressor with a needle attachment.

Step 2

  • Spray the handlebar and inside the grip with your hairspray or lubricant/adhesive.
  • Slide the grips all the way on until there’s no more room for the grips to slide on.
  • I use hairspray because it is both a lubricant and an adhesive. Other combos can be WD-40 and super glue.
  • If your handlebar is dirty or you want to clean it, use warm soap and water to clean it with a wash cloth.
