Hi Murray,
Yes, hairspray does work quite well. It allows the grip to slide on before it sets and then holds it in place.
Conversely, removal of the grip can be achieved by inserting a small screwdriver between the 'bar and the grip and gently working your way around to break the "glue". Then twist off.
Regards,
John.
PS Are you riding in the Mt.Coot-tha Challenge tomorrow 21/03? I elected not to. The only bit that would be a bit different from the ride I have been doing is the ride through the Clem7 tunnel.

Duct tape sticks again..... I use it for about everything to take up unnecessary space.
I sure am glad to see all the help around here. Hey Murray did not someone in your family use to make bikes or something?
Now about all this usen alcohol on everything. Don't get me started!!!!!
I should have warned you, Murray, to take some of this help around with a grain of salt. No....Wait a minute... we need to save that for taquila, right?
I've forgotten what the question was. I had trouble keeping my helmet on one time. I found that enough hair spay did the trick. That is until I had to take it back off again.
Don't listen to Teacher bill. He will take his grips completely off and ride around with naked handlebars.
The only thing alcohol helps me do is loose my grip.
That reminds me that Defjack has gotten to the age that "depends" is all he's got between him and disaster when he looses his grip. Wait..... that's not the topic either.
Hi Jon, aren't you one of the first to build an entire bike out of Painters tape. No......wait.... that was duct tape wasn't it. Anyway I've always been suspicious of all those duct tape claims. Especially the one about the Complete Duct taped airplane. LOL :lol:
Lets see now..... the topic was "get a grip", right?
Sorry for all this, guys, the next post will be more serious. LOL

You fellas need to get a grip before you try anything - we were at hairspray weren't we?
