JackC123 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hey I got theses £10 foam grips from a bike shop in kent. The first few days they stuck solid to the bars, but now they just slip around. I washed them, sprayed the grip part of my bars (shitty onza bars). I dont know what do to.Anyone got any fresh idea's in what you do to keep them still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr ailsbury Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 hairspray, spray it onto the bars (thin layer) put the grips on, then let it dry (might take quite a while) should stick then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guantanamo Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Spray spray mount on your bars and down the inside of your grips, then slide them on. It'll make it easier to get them on and should stop you getting grip throttle.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) hairspray, spray it onto the bars (thin layer) put the grips on, then let it dry (might take quite a while) should stick then.What I do is spray hair spray on the bars, then spray the insides of the foam grips. Leave it for a few seconds so it's slightly dried, then put the grips on. It will be hard to push the grips on and they will not move.

Guantanamo Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Haha, quite like a like a motorcross then. Spray mount?They sell it in art shops, quite expensive though. Like Mr Ailsbury says, hairspray does the same job though I've never tried. Just make sure you wipe off any excess once you've slid the grips on.GSpray mount?It's spray on glue.

EnnBee Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 These boys are right hairspray is best. The cheaper the better as its a lot more sticky. Another thing to try is coke. Same again the cheaper the better but make sure its not diet. Put some in a bowl and leave grips in for a bit. Take grips out and put on bars. Dry with a hairdryer and due to the amount of sugar in the coke the grips will stay stuck, or so my friend said. Hope this helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 They never changed haha. I've used them since they first came out and had about 5-6 sets since then.Never had a problem with them.How can a foam grip look gash? They all look exactly the same!

weirdoku Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Meh, the new trial tech ones look gash, plus George and Greeners move around as much as your dad does at a disco.The only difference is the trialtech letters on them. Which will fade away after a few rides. Hairspray will work, just make sure you clean the insid eof the foam grips and the bars first before spraying the hairspray.

Ali C Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 ignore everyone else (especially tarty Adam!!!!)The BEST stuff to stick grips by a long shot is spray paint! You will have to be quick getting the grips on though, it sets within seconds and will probably require cutting of the grips to remove them.
