Krisboats Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Use lots of selotape?Eventually if you use enough it should feel "softer" as it compresses under you hands. If you don't have enough pad it out with something soft like kitchen sponge, old socks or grass. Cover the "padding" with tape and tadaaa! You have your new grips.

Sam O Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I don't know if it will work but you could cut a piece of sponge up place it on your bar and coat it with duck tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Trialsin Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 kitchen roll to size u want then just tape all over it with electrical tape, thats what i would do i think. u must have some mbuk grips about somewhere (the free ones).Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard jersey Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Tennis grip seems to work really well. Some prefer it to a normal grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
