LeoKnight Posted October 31, 2016 Share FWIW- using dishwasher works great until you end up in a wet race and it turns back to slippery soap and you are holding the grips in your hands on a downhill. Use something that evaporates - carburettor cleaner used to be the thing we used on motorbikes. Works well for me as its alcohol based....Not a bad suggestion, think I will have to get mine off and do some reapplication... With regards to the putting them on, mine also started to cut a little with the first side, but luckily I had a par end plug that fitted snugly on the end, and no more problems with the grip being damaged by the bar end lerouc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSG Posted October 31, 2016 Share Some lekker brandy works just as good and your bike always smells drunk A bad day cycling is better than a good day working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted October 31, 2016 Share any alcohol works. My weapon of choice is meths, plug up one end with a thumb and pour a bit in then swish it around and it goes on like its nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
