Re: grips

Take the bar ends off if you have them (bolt might be seized in place)

Get a thin screwdriver and slide it under the grip, prise it up & squirt some WD40 between grip & bar, wiggle grip around aqnd it'll slide off.

Clean WD40 off bar.

Get new grip & some hairspray (yes, hairspray) squirt some hairspray on the inside of the grip, slide it on and let it set.

Jobs, jobbed
