modifiedridah2k9 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Water works well too. I tried water a few times and my grips were always sliding, didnt let them dry long enough? IMO hairspray is the best as they proper stick and they dry in about 1 minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Canham Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Trialtech foams are amazing. Got mine a few weeks back and just love them. There comfy and there not slippy at all. I would recommend them. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Come on guys, be men Screw all these solvents, clean your bar with meths, leave to fully dry, ensure grips are clean inside. Then....cuss like a trooper and work them on by brute force only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.price Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 work them on by brute force only. why? when you can slide them on with ease and save your dignity , for example , i asked my dad to but rubber grips on my bike once and didnt tell him you were ment to lubricate them , the faces he pulled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Nope. it's all about tekkers! I'm not exactly hench and i'll get any grip on the bars without lube. May take a fair bit of effort, but once its on, it's never going to shift! One tip is bunging up the opposite side and using air pressure inside to aid to grip on, or just go all out brute strength! Also if the grip starts sliding on at any point it should be be kept moving all the way on, no matter what ridiculous position you end up in trying to keep pressure on it!

LukeJustLuke Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hey. I'm thinking of getting some Trialtech foam grips and I was just wondering are they any good ? And do they help at all ?? I'm also thinking of getting Rear Magura hs33 and I was hoping you could tell me if they worth the price ?? And also if they are any good and improve your riding ?? Cheers. After asking the same question a while ago! I have to say that the trialtech foam grips are amazing! I used to be a glove man but now foam grips are amazing!

isitafox Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I may have to give these a try also, never liked foam grips as the feel of them makes me shudder but could be worth a try. I've got some bog standard echo rubber grips on my mod which I love, proper classic rubber grip feel and comfy too, so was thinking of getting some for my 26 as my inspired lock ons are a load of wank but may try some foams first!
