Hi all
My bike grips have just started to produce snot and become really really sticky. Yeah I know we all want sticky grips but this is not nice.
I've got Odi Troy Lee grips that I've had for over a year. I gave them a scrub with washing up liquid and a scrubbing brush but they still feel sticky.
Any ideas?

hay fever ?

There is therefore a large range of both sequential (or chain) reactions and competing reactions and that the ones which predominate depend on factors such as the composition of the vulcanizate as well as the influences of heat, light and metal catalysis. In heat ageing we are balancing the rate of reaction of oxygen with the elastomer and the rate of diffusion of the oxygen into the bulk material. If the temperature is relatively low, it has been postulated that for an unprotected vulcanizate diffusion predominates and therefore there is slow oxidation throughout the product, but as the temperature rises, the rate of oxidation increases much more than the rate of diffusion so substantial oxidation occurs on the surface and an oxidized (hard) surface skin is formed. As oxidation continues the chain breakdown may become more significant and the hard surface then softens and turns sticky. To complicate matters further, under certain conditions this order can be reversed and an initially sticky degraded surface can harden with further oxidation."
Buy some new grips.

Rests caseHay fever is caused by an allergy to pollen. Common hay fever symptoms are a runny, itchy and/or blocked nose, sneezing and itchy eyes

Nope, hay fever can be totally ruled out. Completely imune to an iddy biddy pollen (hardcore!)
The othe jargon sounds about right.
New grips it is then! Nay need for a snot rag!
