He, reminds me of when I had dried spray paint on my grips and tried to clean it off with gasoline.

The grips melted. :rolleyes:

Go to any golf shop and get some grip tape. it's like 2-sided masking tape. clean your bars, put it on, and peel the backing off. The put some paint thinner in your grip, shake it around, and pour it over the tape so it's wet. Quickly slide the grip on and after it dries, that mother won't move.

I do like the WD40 trick tho...

I use hairspray when working on bikes that don't belong to me. Slip a spoke under the grip, give it a spray, and twist the grips off. A bit inside before installation and they slide right on. I bought 14 sets of ODI lock-on's, so I don't worry about my own bikes. Back in the day (early 1980's) Gorilla Snot was the hot product for keeping BMX grips on.

just clean off the bars, and the inside of the grips. then just put some water in the grips and slide them on and let them dry. best to put them on at night so they would dry over night.
