Bike Tips - Anti-Slip Bars

I'm sure everyone has faced this problem sometime during riding. Sometimes you will have a bad fall and there is no way you can keep your bars from slipping in your stem, but it shouldn't happen every riding session you have. If you are experiencing your bars slipping constantly these are a few tips you should look over.

1) Make sure there is no grease inside your stem where the bars are touching. Take your handle bars off and clean the clamp tube of the handlebars and the inside of your stem with paper towel and water.

2) Not all bars have the knurling on the clamp bar, or some just don't help much. Take your handle bars off and sand the clamp tube. A few people have tried putting grip tape on their clamp tube, how ever I don't find that necessary.

3) Make sure all your bolts for your stem are well greased. This goes for all the bolts on your bike. Just cover the bolts with any type of lubricating grease, this will help the bolts clamp down tighter.
