Ruben Hechter Posted July 31, 2022 Share I've got some black esi grips that are about 10 months old and have started going white/yellow in colour from sun and sweat. I have tried cleaning them with brake cleaner and shop towel but although it does work, it takes forever. Anyone have any other methods of cleaning them? I have heard that there is some type of acid that works, but don't know which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 31, 2022 Share Hot soapy water and a toothbrush, after each ride, should do the trick; otherwise a water-based degreaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porqui Posted July 31, 2022 Share Take them off and throw them in with the washing in the washing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted August 1, 2022 Share Using a clean rag or soft brush. Hot soapy water and sunlight soap. Or almost full strength bike wash like Eco Logic/RedHot/Squirt/MucOff etc Using heavy chemicals and aggressive brushing will just break the grip down. Absolute worst when seeing those bike washes jet cleaning grips. Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
