After about 3 months of staying put my grips are slipping. I’ve removed them, cleaned them and put them back on with hairspray but they went on very easily and are now slipping. Much as I like possibility of motorcycle imitations it’s less confidence inspiring when the trail slopes slightly and I have to mince my way down.

So anything I can do? Or have they stretched and are now useless?

Tried squriting GT85 under them?

The best thing I’ve found is a can of car paint lacquer, the clear stuff. Degrease bars and inside of grips with meths or something, dry, spray liberally inside grips, slide on and they stay convincingly stuck. Hair spray’s designed to be removable, car lacquer ain’t. And a single can will last you for years.

I just pretend I’m on a MotoX bike.

Or just use lock-ons.

They’re my preference but I needed some in a hurry. Got some lock ons in the spares box, just trying to eek a little more life out of these

Ghetto lock-ons: 2 cable ties per grip. *

* Never tried this, it just popped into my head.

Just put the lock-ons on already! Move on, move up.

Hair spray.

Hasn’t everyone moved onto lock on grips yet?

Come on, get with it.

The problem is you’ve used hairspray. This is for hair. Grip glue is for grips. It’s in the name.
