took maybe 30 seconds of actually putting it on, so easy

Just cause Ceya ain't here quite yet doesnt mean we can leave out rubber cement. I was a nonbeliever until I saw the man do it. Throw some rubber cement in the grips, the fumes makes em expand a bunch and lubes em up so they slide in nice and easy. They dry in like 5 minutes and don't spin at all and all you have to do to get em off is roll em. Now if only I had some rubber cement...
