Okay...

1. Do not use any SOAP based product, like Windex. When it dries out it seems fine, but when it gets wet from your sweat, then it loosens up forever.

2. Do not use any TEFLON based lubricants, as these will never tighten.

3. USE: Grip glue, which works well but you likely will have to cut your grip off to remove it.

4. USE: Hairspray, but watch out as some leave a film that acts exactly like Windex so sometimes your grips come loose again after some riding.

5. USE: WD-40!!! WD-40 is water based and evaporates after installation. Just a little bit is necessary to slide your grip on and if you leave it overnight it should be perfect in the AM. I have done this for years with no problems at all. It is in my toolbox and is quick and easy to use. You can use it to take your grips off, and to put your grips back on.

6. DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL TAPE! It gunks up your bars.
