wisecrack Posted April 16, 2016 Share I think I'm in Luv I should have ordered some more... Did a 2 hour ride and they are nice and comfy. I just put them in hot water and used gloves and lotsa elbow grease and the suckers slipped right on. http://i64.tinypic.com/25jca3q.jpg Edited April 16, 2016 by wisecrack Hairy, ChUkKy, gummibear and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbo_SA Posted April 16, 2016 Share Except mine will arrive on Monday, replacing some dirty ESIs, my SS will keep the Ritchey grips for a while still though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerouc Posted April 18, 2016 Share Obviously I am doing something wrong!! The Sunlight liquid soap method and putting the grips under a running tap of hot water did not work for me. Any suggestions?got mine on with using sunlight liquid and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resiesfiets Posted April 18, 2016 Share I fitted my new Luvhandles over the weekend and did a 4hour ride with them. They are plush and comfy and you've got to luv the end caps, much better quality than anything that I have come across before. Too soon to comment on longevity but so far so good and will strongly recommend Luvhandles as the go to silicone-foam grip.

ChUkKy Posted April 18, 2016 Share Windowlene definitely the way to go. Old School hairspray in a tin also works well. Reason I use this as that its easy to find in the Mrs cupboard.Windowlene is what the maid uses for windows which means its impossible to find because its probably finished.

Any suggestions?Oh no AndreK!! Let us know if you want your complimentary set in red again? There are various ways to fit silicone grips to handlebars, some use dish-washing liquid other deodorant or Windowlene there are even skilled individuals who use plain old water! Important is to work it on bit by bit without too much force... If you need any further help let us know! popcorn_skollie, Hairy and Uni 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
