Hairspray.. Spray in grip, acts as lubricant.. Dries.. Acts as glue.. Use hot water to remove again when needed..

I know someone who used butter as grease for his whole BMX build.
Needless to say it went mouldy ruining the whole bike... -

clear laquer from a rattler can works best

you want the cheapest hairspray known to man (its just thinned out spray glue in a can!), anything more than 80pence a can probably won't work.
GT85/wd40 can work, but you need to make sure inside grip + bars are immaculately clean & free of grease otherwise it'll slip just the same. Pretty much any aerosol has the desired effect, just some are more perm-ant than others.

Cycle puncture repair glue, have been using it since i got my first MTB in 1987.
Cover the bar in it, slide on the grip, glue dries, job's a good 'un.

hot soapy water in a basin, leave in for 2mins, should easily slide on.

I just 'huff' down the inside of the grip then wop it onto the bars in one quick move. It'll slide on no problem and will be stuck firm by the following morning
I did utfs, but to no avail - by all means redirect this or delete as necessary!
I have some blb grips and have them on my aero bars (see below).

The left hand bar does not have the brake lever as a stopper and keeps working its way forward & off - any tips or help (re adhesive, etc) would be appreciated.
