Default Re: Sticking Grips on

Not put any on a motorbike, but always used car brake fluid on the bmxs I built. The stuff seemed to set really well, and I'm sure bmx grips get more abuse than motorbike.

No...seriously, hairspray. Spray on the inside of the grip, helps it slide on then sets hard enough to stop the grip twisting.
+1. Big with the serious cyclists from what I hear. I've not tried it on heated grips, mind.
