  • Or lock on sex, way way better.

  • Aftershave wasn't a wind-up at all my friend.
    As Chak said it dries very quickly due to the alcohol content.
    This is good because it means once they're on they don't slide around. But it's bad because you have to get them on very sharpish after spraying into the grips.

  • ^Splash on the Old Spice for that authentic old school bmx feel...

  • I came back from the US and the one on the right is stuck on aa nails and the other still loose. I forget what I did

  • Tried urine, still loose. Now my index finger stinks of piss

  • Your own wont work. Its got to be someone else's.

  • I now bought the cheapest, nastiest Asda own brand hairspray.

  • Should work fine, it's what I've always used for track grips...

  • I used a vial of mums. I normally retain it for something more special, but felt it fitting in this case. Have plenty anyways.

  • How long should it take to set - 12 hours doesn't seem to have done the trick

  • Did you wash the urine off first?

    On a serious note: take grip off. Clean bars and soak grip in hot water for 5 mins. Spray handlebar with a light dusting of hairspray and slide the drained grips on straight from the hot water. Be careful not to scold yourself. Should be fixed on within the hour, but maybe longer if excessive water remained in the grip which you was meant to drain first!

  • Do you have some randos to fit afterwards?

  • dude just get some wd 40 ... you'll use it for other bike related things, so it won't be a waste of money
    it'll take about 10 mins to dry solid and won't slip

    it'll remove the urine too

  • Asda, bought it. Given the grips a good clean and dry. WD40 applied.

  • Exciting!

  • WD40 was applied. What happened next shocked his neighbourhood...

  • Exactly, fuck all happened. I think I must have knackered that particular grip. This morning still not set.

  • And you tried this ?

  • or this

    do you have the right sized grips ? not that they come in different sizes, do they ?

  • I think maybe I was too generous with the hairspray the first time.
    @dicki, Its deffo the right size as the opposing side is tight as.
    @Yukirin, now in hot water. Will try a dusting this time.

    Thanks for bearing with me guys.

  • Nope, just got back from a few days away. Still not fixed. It must be shot.

  • Have you tried it on other bars?

  • Ive not, to be honest. I think I will buy another pair and start over

  • Inverse shim

  • I put a tad more hairspray on and they seem good this morning. Seems I may have gone from too liberal to too sparse.

    Thanks again for bearing with me guys, esp @Yukirin, @eyebrows, @thomas and @TRA. Seems its all down to the dosage, but I just had to try some of the novelty approaches.
