Got it. A friend told me I needed one because they look cool. I tried explaining function before form to him, but that didn't dissuade him.

Do you really need to use 3M spray glue when installing OURY grips?

They stick fine on a really clean bar for me. I clean even brand new bars with Isopropyl alcohol before install.

Never ever. I've been using WD40 to install grips for about 20 years.
WD40 reacts with rubber in a way that makes it slippery at first, then extremely sticky. Spray some inside the grips, shake out the excess and slide them on your bars (don't forget to poke holes in the ends of the grips or the second one will fill with air). Let them chill for a bit and they won't budge.

Really? I never knew WD-40 worked that way. Once I get the grips on I'll throw some pics of the final product up.
Thanks a million!

Scrod do you know if pedal consumption or leader made a custom re finished kagero? i saw a high polish kagero in LA today, i stoped him and it had PC and leader etched in the frame, Kinda like laser engraved but most likely sand blasted.

I just don't understand why your hands end up hurting so much.

Much spoke squeezing for destressing? Also, using a screw driver instead of a nipple driver made my hand cramp after a while

You should record a video of yourself building some wheels. Now THAT would rule.

An hour of wheelbuilding? That would be like watching golf.

Yet, surprisingly, people watch golf.
