Cut a line and peel off. It's a way of making the grip really stick, problems arose with other methods if riding in the wet etc, as all are affected by moisture. Obvously if you're someone that changes grips all the time laquer is not best method, but say you use grips till they wear out, then it's fine. I found some grips better than others though, some I had I put on with an air gun like you suggest and they never shifted, others I tried everything (even washing in between) and laquer was only thing that held.

yea i found that it does depend on what bar/gr4ip combo you use. some were just buggers and some were fine. i was a regular grip changer so i never wanted to have to cut off. nowadays all grip problems have been solved by bonty bar tape and lock-on grips.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
