Putting grips on bars...

...does anyone have any good tricks to get A'ME grips on to bars (relatively) easily? It's always a major mission for me and I end up with blisters on my hands from the pushing and tugging!!

WD40. slides on, and does something that corrodes the inside surface of the grip to make them stick.... within minutes.

liberally spray the inside of the grip with hairspray and a touch on the bars and slide into place.
be sure to do it quickly before the hairspray dries. once there dry they wont move.
I have done this to my grips since I was twelve and never had a problem.
too get the back off slide a thin screwdriver down the inside and waggle around while spraying GT85 then just twist them off

wd40 inside the grip to get them on, and to get em off perfect, to re-sell maybe, fill up your sink with hot tap water leave em to heat up and soak for 5 mins and they should slide rite off.

i use spray on carpet adhesive. you have to cut the fookers of when you want to replace them, but they never ever budge, which is good if its a rider.....
