trail_blazin_canuck Posted September 27, 2005 When installing new handle bar grips what kind of glue are you guys using to prevent the grips from spinning on the handle bars?Iused renthal glue grip and it did not work very good, the mud and water got underneath the grips from a muddy race on sunday and they were spinning like crazy.I do not like using safety wire!

RiderX My Ride Posted September 27, 2005 I use 3M super trim adhesive. It comes in a large aerosol can. It makes it easy to slide the grips on and when it dries it holds very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wannabe_bubba_259 Posted September 27, 2005 GOOP from home depot. It is in the section where where the super glue is. The famous wrooster said to use GOOP and it works really good. But while it is drying I tie zipties around the grip so it sticks to the bar better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looneytunes Posted September 27, 2005 The story of MXCaveman......... MXCaveman says "me no like safety wire. me use only glue" MXCaveman rides mud race in rain. MXCaveman loves riding in mud, but after many crashes, water and mud gets between grip and bar, and MXCaveman gets some serious grip-slip. Determined MXCaveman finishes race in 20th place by pushing bike to finish, Fred Flintstone style. Moral of story: MXCaveman is not total Neanderthal and is now using glue AND safety wire, AND kicking butt in AA class. Recent quote from MXCaveman as seen on TV: "That's sooo condescending" !

grayracer513 My Ride Posted September 27, 2005 i aRe try that ut seemz lIke a god ideea!!!one!!one !1! No Mercy. You guys are ruthless. Don't shoot me, but I've used Honda Pro Grip Cement with real good results. I did notice that it looks and smells and generally behave pretty much exactly like the good ol' Yellow Death (3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive), just without the yellow dye. Hmm...

Likesdirt Posted September 27, 2005 GRAYRACER speak truth. I, too, have used the Honda-named product with great success.....but also safety wire! It is less than half the price of the Renthal glue. I have heard other riders complain of the Renthal product not meeting their expectations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slapnut Posted September 27, 2005 Scott glue or the aerosol spray adhesives with SAFETY WIRE! and you'll have no problems, make sure the grips you buy have a place for safety wire right on the outside end (on the other side of the big collar) to prevent any water from getting in.

gmoss357 Posted September 27, 2005 put mine on with an air compressor and safety wire, no glue. Been in plenty of rain and mud and no slippy yet. That way I can take them off with air, no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXThumper6 Posted September 27, 2005 Paint em on. I just spray Krylon glossy(any brand will work) on the bars and a little inside the grip - put em on quick so they will slide on. Ready to ride in 15min. or less. No problems and real cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aedwards07 Posted September 27, 2005 The Honda brand grip glue works well. BUT The best thing I have found is clear krylon spray paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wideopen24_7 Posted September 28, 2005 To prevent absolutely no slippage of the grips safety wire must be used. If safety wire is used then glue is not necessary. Just spray something in the grip that will evaporate, some people use gasoline but I prefer carb cleaner, and slide the grip on easily and line it up perfectly. Use three safety wires per grip and your good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
