Wife's bike for work. grips are spinning, she doesn't want to spend money on lockons. What's the best thing to stick them down with for a bike that's ridden in all weathers and washed frequently (ie hairspray doesn't work)
nail varnish?
enamel might do the trick! Cheers.
Lockons are a tenner, probably about a fiver more than nail varnish or owt.
For the faff and a few extra beer tokens i would say lockons.
I know you said she does not want the expense but it just makes so much sense once you have them.

with it being the wife's bike, I'm guessing she's got a few pots of nail varnish she no longer wants.
Still, where are these £10 lockons of whcih you speak?
Jamie, I agree, the 3 mountain bikes in the house all run them (odi Rampage) and she actually pinched my first ever pair of lockons before I got to put them on my bike!

Look at my edited post above.
impulse girly deo works a treat!
hairspray , acts as a lube to get them on then sets them firm once dry.
So does WD40 strangely.
Ellnette hairspray is ideal - it's the slightly more expensive stuff. Cheap hairspray is OK though!
Hairspray !
Get the £6 lock ons. As soon as you get them glued you'll need to take the brake lever off
Artists spraymount. I've got a bottle of niceday spraymount. My grips do slowly slowly creep, but I'll have to cut the fuc*ers off.
Man-milk!
Oh, alright then.. Girlfriend goo!!
