JCA12 Posted May 12, 2022 Share For the ESI grips, I use 2 thickish cable ties and surgical spirits with a syringe and needle. The spirits evaporate with no residue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted May 12, 2022 Share Lots of IPA on the bar and inside the grip then it just slides on ( assuming your bar is clean already ) Then 5mins in the sun and that thing sits like stink on sh#te To get them off a stanley blade works lekker , but if it really needs to be reused compressor is hard to beat.

Now I use a home compressor with one of the those trigger air nozzles. If you dont have a compressor then take the bike and grips down to the local garage and use their tyre pump. It now takes 2 min I use windowlene (or whatever is underneath the kitchen sink that sprays) and a plastic lever. Push the lever in, spray the inside, rotate the lever around the bar. Comes off easily. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted July 1, 2022 Share (Probably) Never using wet lube on my bike again. Admittedly I put on too much, but it's a no go on dry, dusty, sandy trails like where I ride. Poor crunchy drivetrain A real mess to clean up as well. TheoG and JRN89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been doing some testing on all 3 of my bikes and if you make sure to clean off the excess on the side plates, you'll be pretty happy with the results.

You actually get oiler devices for motorcycles that drip oil onto the chain while you ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take much for the sand to stick to the sideplates and start making crunchy noises against the next cog, especially on the larger end of the cassette. Motorbike chains don't have adjacent sprockets to rub against, so the effect is much reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are not most of the modern motorbike chains coming with o-rings to protect them from getting the grit between the rollers and the plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
