ow to:

Now this is something that many people have tried to do many different ways. I am going to tell you what I think is the easiest way to change your grips. Now this will only pertain to thumb throttles. I will cover twist throttles in a later “How to”. Hand Grips come in tons of

This is a great "how to"!
I love it!

I run BMX grips and I just clean the bars well, spray the bars and inside the grips with brake cleaner and slide them on. THe brake cleaner dries in about 2-3 minutes and you're ready to go. (This only works for non-knurled bars) Safety wire is always a good idea though and works very well.

can someone post a pic of a good safety wire job.

call me crazy but i just use grip glue.

your not crazy. My newest (to me) toy came with renthal grips put on with grip glue.
I love it.

air compressor is the only way, they slide right on!!

i just use WD-40 to get them off and then i clean the WD-40 off the bars and spray inside of the new grips with contact cleaner and slide them on, then let it evaporate and ride! OR if i can get my hands on some hairspray, i use that in place of contact cleaner, it dries kind of sticky so it mildly glues them on.
