Fitting Carbon bars?
I have some carbon bars to fit to my bike but would like to know how to fit the grips. On my old aluminium bars I used hairspray to fit the grips but can this be done with carbon bars.

Probably, but I'd use a tiny bit of hand soap and water to be on the safe side.

LOVE the shock absorbancy of the CF; strongly recommend it. Weight reduction is nice, too.

I have been using rubbing alcohol for installation of mtb grips. Not sure how it compares to hair spray but its cheap and it works well.
