I just bought an old 2009 Electra Townie 3i, and I love it. A little rust here and there but generally in good shape with new tires and chain. The handlebar grips are sticky and feel kind of gummy or something. Don't know if it's age or exposure to something or what. If I could just pop online and buy a replacement pair I would, but I haven't had much luck with that. The twister grip where you change gears is shorter than the other grip, and it's a little hard to find just the right thing to replace them.
Is handlebar tape a solution? That would mean a smaller circumference I guess, which might not feel optimal under my hands. Tape on top of the grips? If I bought a pair of regular equal length grips, could I cut one to size?
Any input or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
