Muel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I just gotsome of the new trialtech grips with the logos on, and they seem to have some sort of waxy stuff on the inside, they don't feel as grippy as my old ones.Is there a way of cleaning it off? Normally I inflate grips to get them on and never have a problem, but these just push on and can't stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Don't recall having such problems, the grips with logos have been around for months and they're identical to the old ones. I've checked a pair and they don't have anything waxy on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottTrials Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have these grips and I have had no trouble with mine, to get it on I went to the sink and aloud the water to run through the middle then dried it and put it onto the bars.

cai Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Completely dunk them under water, put them on the bars, when the grip dries out it'll be fimly stuck in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 How do you inflate grips to get them on?Use a rubber bar bung to seal the opposite end of the bar, slide the grip on as far as you can, stick the valve leverl thingy end of a track pump in the grip, squeeze hard with you hand and push into the bar while pumping gently, it inflates the grip slightly they it just pushes on, no need for hairspray and shite that don't work. (I've tried hairspray, deoderant, WD40 etc, they all seem to work until you get it wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just washed them out with a pan scourer and washing up liquid.Now when you squash the grip together an try and roll it between your fingers, it won't whereas before it was easy. Everyone needs to do this when the grips are new, then they'll never have a problem making them stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
