Ruby vs ESI grips vs Luvhandles?

[LeoKnight]

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

I have never ever fitted my own grips. Thanks to this thread I have just purchased some Luv. How do you fit them? Will appreciate any advice....

 

Thanks

Spray the insides with deodorant. Slide them on. Wait a few hours. Go ride.

Some lekker brandy works just as good and your bike always smells drunk

 

A bad day cycling is better than a good day working.

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.

You sure you can't point those brakes a bit more downwards? Do you apply the brakes with your knees?

Yesterday fitted my wifes new grips and then this happened:

So the wifes bike ended up looking like this:

Which i thought was cool so my bike ended up looking like this:

My mechanic assistant then decided this would be the best use for broken grip:
