  6. Funny how we go at such fast speeds on a bicycle (on and off road) with hardly any protection and bikers have shoes, proper helmets, leathers, neck braces, thick gloves....me thinks they are a bunch of pusssssyyyy cats!

  11. From ESI Site: Q: What is the best way to install ESI MTB Grips? A: Clean handle bars. Press in End Caps. Using Rubbing Alcohol or Window cleaner clean inside of ESI MTB grips, wet bar and inside of grip, slide onto bar. Rotate grip to have the Thicker side towards palm. Let dry for 24 hours. Q: Can I remove ESI grips? A: Yes! Slide a screw driver with a dulled point (or something similar) under grip (careful not to scratch bar or stretch grip), squirt Rubbing Alcohol, Window cleaner or water under grip, twist grip off bar. Clean inside of grip with Rubbing Alcohol or Window cleaner and reinstall. If you have access to a compressor just blow them off.
