I got some sunline grips off CR. They seem very tight when going on. They scratched my Easton CNT bars so I didn't try and push too hard. Any tips? Cheers, Josh

Are they Lock Ons or not?

If no, try some hairspray. Acts as a lubricant, then dries to form a mild adhesive. Top tip.

They aren't the best lock on design - completely remove the grub screw. Bit of grease to stop them scratching?
Oh, and don't overtighten the end caps or they just wreck the plastic (I [i]almost[/i] did this)

is the grub screw/screws the one that tightens the lock on clamp? I'll give that a go...

I only use non-lock-on grips on carbon bars now.

Far too easy to scratch or overtighten them.
