I recently received my oury grips and put'em on my new risers. I went with the hairspray-lube method and it sucks! I've let'em dry for at least 24 hours and they still slip and slide. Then I tried the saliva method, that worked for a while until I had to pull my handlebars up to get over a curb then bam! Slipped right off.

What I'm trying to ask is, what are some ways I can get my grips to stay still without having to glue them onto the risers?

Thanks in advance.

Face wash soap. I dunno... It'll dry within a couple days man. Is recently like yesterday?

I've found that you have to really clean the bars (maybe inside of the grips) before you try to put them on. If there is any oils/grease on the bars, they wont stick well (oily hands).

Try degreasing the bars and inside the grips w/ a mild detergent (dishwashing soap + water) and then try the hairspray method again. Gluck

Hairspray sucks. A light spray of WD40 inside your grips will let you slide them on easily and when it dries after a few minutes, they'll be stuck like you used super glue.

Or get yourself some canned air (Dust Off, etc), stick the little straw inside the edge of the grip and pull the trigger while you push the grip on. No muss, no fuss.

I usually use spraypaint for mtb style grips (cuz I'm lazy). Just make sure you don't plan on removing the grips. (Have to cut them off and are left with a mess on the bar).

i had the same problem. it was the material the bars were made out of. just wasnt sticking to it. i ran a layer of electrical tape on the bars where the grips would be. just hairsprayed the grips as usual and they stuck fine after that

the ziptie method someone mentioned in the kilo tt thread long time ago sounded pretty good.
u put line up 4 zip ties in ur grip laterally and slide the grip onto the bars then pull out the zip ties.

I've found that rubbing alcohol works pretty well, I used it on my track grips, though they are much longer than ourys and need to go up a curve. Rubbing alcohol dries very quickly, but ymmv.

Alright awesome! Thanks for all the tips you guys. I'll probably try them all until I get them to stick lol. Riding with grips that slips and slides are scary as ****.

Degrease, then rubbing alcohol.
Its great for getting grips back off again too. Put it in a squeeze bottle and squirt under the edge.

If it slips after any of those methods, I'm thinking get a new bar.
Sounds like your bar diameter is too small. I've put on Ourys with hairspray, and track grips with WD40 and they take quite a bit of muscle to remove.

I found that old fashioned aqua net is the best because these days "new" hairspray contains some other stuff that keeps the hairspray from drying your hair out..... which in terms causes your ourys to continue slipping...

If that were the case, I'd first try wrapping the grip part of the bars with electrical tape or something to increase thickness, then shoving the grips on. I dunno, he might die though.

rubber cement worked for me (the kind with the brush in the jar). pretty easy to clean the gunk off afterward. lubes on pretty well. you do have to cut the grips when done, but grips are pretty damn cheap.

rubbing alcohol didn't work for me. never dried enough surprisingly. never tried hairspray.

WD40 is the best method I've found.
