Fitting Grips
« on: March 27, 2008, 05:00 PM »
A while ago someone posted on here a method for fitting grips, basically you place cable ties in the grip and then slide it on making sure the ties are fairly equally spaced around the bars, they go on easy as there's alot less friction, when there on you pull out the ties.
Never had my grips so tight untill I used this method.

So just wanted to say thanks to who ever posted the tip as nowt worse than grips that are slipping all ower the place and are stretched because you been wrestling wid em to get them on!
