Bike Tips - Installing / Removing Grips

It is very easy to install/remove your grips, as long as you know the right techniques. First make sure you take your bar ends off. The easiest way to remove your grips is with an air compressor. If you have access to an air compressor put the end of it under the grip, facing outwards. Now use the air compressor until the grip slides off nice and easy. This will be a very loud process. If you don't have an air compressor take a flat head screw driver and push it under the grip as far as you can and lift it up. Now spray WD40 inside the grip on the bars. Try to get underneath he grip as lubricated as you can until you can twist the grips off. If you don't care about saving the grips you can just cut them off with any type of blade. It is a lot easier to put grips on. I like to use WD40 on the bars to help the grip slide on easily and then when it dries it shouldn't slip or move at all. Make sure you allow a good 24 hours for your grips to dry before using them much. If you find that your grips are still moving after you have let it dried, spray the underneath of the grip with hair spray to allow it to stick to the bars.
