I know it is a simple problem, but I don't want to make a mess of things by using the wrong glue. My left hand grip keeps sliding almost all the way off all the time. Should I put gorilla glue on the handlebar then slide it back into position? It's driving me bananas.

 

good one, lol... go down to the local bike shop and get some grip glue, it comes in a tube and dont cost that much its the easiest way to fix the problem... the glue is about $1.50 and it works

 

I used the wife's hair spray. Cleaned out the grip, then the handlebar with windex, after it dried, sprayed hair spray on it and slid the grip on. The grip was loose while the hairspray was wet, then when it dried overnight, its tight and has been for a few weeks now. Read this tip online and seems to work.

 

+ 1 on hair spray and black girl hairspray at that really really works

 

Hairspray is also used to preserve Pap Smears. Scrape the cervix, slather on a slide, spray with hairspray, send to pathologist. Never heard of the use on handlebars, but I'll remember that. We used to use dish soap.

 

What a versatile product. We used to spray hairspray on our shoes, light it, then run and leave flaming footprints.

 

little bit of super glue solved the same problem for me

 

This works: hairspray has been the standard grip 'glue' for years.

 

I wrap insulating tape around the bar, drop the grip in hot water for 3 mins, shake it dry and slap it on....works every time and costs less than 2 cents...and you can get the grip off at a later date if you ever need to.
