Best thing to stick slack-fitting grips....?

[the_wheelie_king]

Afternoon chums. I've got some Uni Hand-Grenades going onto a new build but they're quite a loose fit on the bars. My standard route would be to use sticky hairspray but it's not grippy enough. I know that if I use something like superglue I may make the grip rubber go brittle, so advice needed please...

Cheers, Bob

Hey Bob,

I use the rubber solution you get with puncture repair kits for fitting my grips.

Maybe this would work for you? How loose are the grips?

wrap the bars with self amalgamating insulation tape, its electrical tape that bonds to itself  over a couple of days to form single piece of tape when its set it has a sticky texture that grips the grips    like glue, easy to get of when you need to as well.

Went to the LBS the other week and asked the guy for whatever they use for grip fixing. He said nothing in particular and recommeded two things.
One was the rubber fixing glue in puncture repair kits.
The second which he recommended highly and said he been using it himself for the last 5 years, was clear laquer. The car kind as it is waterproof and not the hair kind.

Thanks for the tips lads

or buy new grips that fit properly

I'm guessing the usual subjects like laquer and wd40 aren't going to do it if the grips are slack, ie there's gap between bar and rubber.

you might have to put some tape around the bars before fitting grips.

uni grips are fluted on the inside aren't they?
