It used to be a royal pain putting on normal grips.. Kettle of water, soak the grip in it, take it out, dry it, spray hair spray on the bar, try and slide it on and only get half way.. And that was the easy part! Taking them off was a right pain in the arse!
Now with lock ons its slide it on, tighten 2 allen bolts, job done….
Oh I’ve got some shitty shifters that have to be slid on the bars.. undo the two lock on bolts, slide off, slide shifter on, slide on grips, tighten the bolts.
That is a hell of a lot easier than getting a hot bowl of water, resting one grip in the hot water then try and take it off and end up scratching the bars from using a screwdriver to try and remove the grips, sometimes resulting in cutting the damn things off then going and buying some more… 🙄
I don’t understand the reasoning for not using lock ons.
