Grips that stick finally

[oldGSfan]

I got a set of pretty soft rubber grips some time in the past, sort of a criss-cross pattern, cheap ones. I don't care, I'm a cheap SOB and they would work fine for me as long as I could get them to grip. Well, I tried hairspray. Nope. Got some grip glue. Nope. Hmm, electrical tape? Nope. OK time to give up, taking them off and son says - you have a bunch of heat shrink tubing, why not try that?

I confess that since I had grip glue that never worked, I doubled down and smeared a bit on the chrome bar and let it dry before putting on the Harbor Freight extra large Ron Jeremy approved heat shrink tubing. Heat gun applied, grips slide on and lock solid. i knew that kid was a genius (and I knew for a long time that I am not).

I still use Grab Ons. Reminds me of the old days.

Oh man, I remember those, they deteriorated fast because I had to park my bike outside, they would harden up in a few months. As an old guy I sympathize.

I just installed a pair of OURY soft rubber Street grips with a large block pattern and used Renthal grip glue to make them stay-put.I like how these OURY grips help with vibration through the bars which used to affect me with my old,hard rubber OEM grips.

I get my grips from Randakks Cycle shack. They are grippy and, uh, grip the bar without fail (for me).
