Use hairspray to fix the new uns on.

A bit of lady's hairspray works a treat. :thumbup: Whatever you do don't use fairy liquid, your grips will never stick.

It does indeed and dries out once they are on so they don't slip about. :thumbup:

Hair spray sounds a good idea. I usually get the grip on a half inch and stick the air line nozzle between bar and grip and with your hand over the other end ready to push and make it air tight give it a blast. Works great.

Use either hairspray or clear laquer is good too.
