thanks dude but wt bout non lock on grips

+ 20

buy lock ons and you'll be happier!

surfsup887 (Jun 3, 2008 at 5:40)

for non lock on grips- use a flathead screwdrive to lift the inside end of the grip, spray HAIR SPRAY under, twist and remove. to put the new ones on, spray HAIR SPRAY inside the new grip, slide on and position, wait 20-30 minutes for the hair spray to dry and become tacky. (they'll never slide around)

thank you

Or you can use rubbing alcohol.

or cut off the old crappy ones off with razor blade then get nice new lock-ons. By the way those peaty grips are nasty. I just got them for my DJ bike.

Surfspur, thanks for that tip. All though I use lock-ons, rest of my family uses normal grips, that'll come handy even on my electra

Use an air compressor to slide the non lock ons, on and off! That way you don't have to wait for anything to dry. All you have to do is put the hose between the bar and grip, squeeze some air and it should slip right on.

If u have an air compressor put ur chuck in the grip and pull ur grip on and it works great

mmdgirard (Aug 31, 2008 at 20:08)

lemon furinture polish works amazingly

Filrox (Oct 23, 2008 at 17:06)

i heard that if your new non-lock-on grips are slipping off quite easily, pour some ginger-ale/sprite so that it makes it a bit stickier.

PS. Sick grips!!

what if the bolts in my lock-on parts are stripped? any suggestions??

spoiledgoods (Jan 2, 2008 at 9:06)

hrm, should have addressed that issue. In this case you got a few options. If there is a big enough gap between each side of the locking rings (where the bolt is tightening down, bringing the 2 sides together) you can try cutting the bolt with a hacksaw through that gap.

If this dosent work, you may try this. Go to the local hardware store and find a set of "easy out" bits. They are specially designed to take out stripped bolts and such.

Or you can just bring it to your LBS

or ya could use a flatend screwdriver that wedges in

(thats what i done) Smile

mark416 (Jun 22, 2008 at 0:11)

mate how can it take 15 minutes to swap grips, i assembled my whole bmx in 20... lol

spoiledgoods (Oct 22, 2008 at 10:35)

Id like to think that to take off, assemble, and put your grips back on should take about 10-15 minutes.
If you can assemble a whole bmx in 20 minutes congrats, but I wouldn't ride it. With time come precision, and I am sure we have all overlooked small things from being rushed.
