    Meant Swheet fixeh. Do love a good HHSB build, and I'm sure this will not fail to entertain.
    Have grown (well I've always been) bored of the compact, thick tired, disc braked neo-hipster road bikes this forum has become populated by.

    Whats the straw method? Shoot WD40 down them?

  • This forum definitely needs more HHSB build threads!

    Whats the straw method? Shoot WD40 down them?

    There is no big science behind it, they just reduce friction drastically. Didn't work out though.
    I'm already afraid of pulling the grips off and on again as the bars are 740mm wide right now (wtf) and I want them to be at around 600mm. Soap water will do I hope.

  • Cable ties can do the same job as straws and are unlikely to break.

    Otherwise a 70% ethanol/isopropyl alcohol and water mix is a good alternative to soap
