    On carbon bars – what is the best way to make sure that the grips stick and don't move when wet? Or is that a "moon on a stick" question?

    SPRAY THE BARS WITH CHEAPO HAIRSPRAY – THE GRIPS WILL SLIDE ON EASILY AND THE HAIRSPARAY WILL DRY TO FORM AN ADHESIVE, KEEING THEM IN PLACE.

    3m artists adhesive on bars and spray a little Iso Propyl Alcohol inside grips, slide on and leave to dry. They won't budge even in a thermonuclear explosion.

    What happens if the hairspray gets wet – surely the grips will slip?

    Hairspray only works if you don't ride in the rain, that's why I have resorted to a removable glue, but I can't remember the name.

    +1 for artists spraymount.
    It's also really good for sticking innertube to the chainstay.

    I use araldite – sticks fairly permanently but can be peeled off when you want to get it off (foam grips would get trashed though).
