Fitting new handle bar grips S3.

[Granty]

Hi Guys, any good hacks for fitting new handle grips? I think I heard about spraying with hair spray???

[HxPaul]

Buy the "complete spanners manual" it tells you in there how too fit them.Spray a little paint into them,it makes it easier too fit them,they just slide on and when the paint is dry they wont come off.

washing up liquid is good and they will come off when needed.

Hairspray has always worked for me

My usual method, but they all work.
Don't use paint if fitting the tanslucent grips

I used to use this method on pushbikes when i was a kid, great idea until it rains and then you're taking your life in your own hands as they have a tendency to slide off again. I just soak them in boiling water and they go on pretty easily with some gentle persuasion.

I use hairspray the problem using just a lubricant is the grips can turn on the bar

Hairspray works to put them on , compressed air to take them off .

Slightly off topic - but S2 grips always seem to be 5-10mm too short

Get them in hot water & they will stretch to the end but will alwasy shrink back - even if using contact adhesive. Anyone know where you can get ones that are the correct length ?
