[Jfpunk]

I tried water but it didnt keep them in place....wats the best for making them stay in place without using that special glue?

thanks

[Elliot.]

Aids works well.

[IThePerson16]

Once you get them on use nail polish clear coat

Like lift tghe grips up a bit and put some on the bars and this will keep em stuck on good make sure you can either slide them on if your putting the clear coat on before the grips are on or just put it on under the grips after the grips are actually on

[Pau1]

wd40. don't use too much but use enough to get them to slide on. Let it dry, then you're good to go.

i have heard of lighter fluid too. could try that.

[Chuck Norris]

Let the water dry?

Hairspray, spit, air compressor, cover one hole and blow the grip in

[Siciro]

Are you trying to slide the grips on your bars?

Or are you trying to get your grips to stay on and not slip?

I've used everything from spit to spray lube and starter fluid to slide grips on. I haven't had a problem with grips moving around since by the time they start slipping there worn out and need to get tossed anyway.

[FamousMan]

I use dish soap. Put it on the bars and inside the grips. They stay forever (well at least for me).

[kronck]

clear your bars and grips, let dry, and use a air compresser...best way, and you can go riding instantly

[i like to bike]

at night when your done riding take of your grips clean the inside and the handlebars then spray in deodrant/hairspray slip them on and in the morning wala make sure you put a decent amount on.

[connor1994]

Use deodrant (Y) it evaporates after a while therefore the grips stop to slide around
thats what i use :)

[Chaseftw]

just use hairspray

[dayto123]

Hairspray.

[hot karl]

i use zip-ties.

[FitTRL3]

zip-ties, but its still hard.

[minichamp31]

3 zipties. Slide on. Pull out.

The last bit sounds dirty.

[iTrails]

i used to use hair spray but it didnt dry quick enough so i started to use clearcoat(spraypaint) and it works extremely well

[AustinK]

If you have some time just use rubbing alcohol. It is the ingredient that makes the spray deodorants a good choice as well.

[bizzabmx]

hairspray

[jawn]

Compressed air, zip ties. Hairspary, WD-40 etc. works fine on some finishes/grip combos, and not so fine on others.

[Stephen G]

Air compresser.

[Fresh5722]

just make sure ur grips and bars are completly dry and slide them on it may take a while but they wont move after ur done

[BeAddicted]

just make sure ur grips and bars are completly dry and slide them on it may take a while but they wont move after ur done

yeah thats the way i do it it's so easy and they doesn't slip att all :d

[jwnolte]

i always use spray paint.

[drej]

this is wd-40s one purpose on a bike, to get em off slip a screwdriver or something under then spay wd-40 into it an work it around, should slide off like nothing. putting on spray them, then slide them on quick, should not move at all within a couple minutes. wd-40s whole lube to glue thing is perfect for grips

[Chuck Norris]

Quick dry hair spray works great, drys up quick

[tdunster]

Triflow works very well for getting grips on or off.

[paranoidmexican]

[Kasmeer]

i use brake cleaner because it evaporates quickly and leaves no residue

[tsi]

water works

[thekrow]

I use denaturated alcohol. U can get it at any hardware store. It drys fast and leave no residue. It probably comparable to brake cleaner. I just put on a set of grips and tried to throttle them about a minute later. feels like i glued them on.

[Superjin]

I think... Just Breath in the grips , it's okay , it will be dry very soon and you won't use almost nothing :-)

[deadhambino]

i use windex to get grips on

[the muffin man 911]

air compressor :)

[United]

well , i used zippo lighter fluid and it dries fast , leaves no residue .

[That one kid]

hair spray works well, an air compressor if i have it, ive heard wd-40 works well but ive never tried it.

[highrider420]

I use spit.

[scolecite]

rubbing alcohol, is the best.

[reece]

i use hairspray it works good and it dries quickly (depends on what hairspray you use)

[tdunster]

tri-flow, spit, or compressed air.... and a host of others mentioned here.

[chrome bmx]

use your friggin hands. tap it down the push...

[nomex]

I use rubbing alcohol.

[paranoidmexican]

Screwdriver and rubbing alcohol

[Jacob P.]

hairspray!!!

it works better for me than the glue does.

[JoeCarr]

Defo hairspray, is applied as a lubricant, dries as an adhesive, and usually everyone has it :D

[13243]

i use lock-on grips! just tighten up the little allen key and it never slips! slide it on and tighten it up and ur ready to go.

[chrome bmx]

just muscle them on you puff, this thread is very very old now though.

[mint green]

use hairspray is is slipy and dries like glue in 10 15 mins
