    A tiny drop of dish soap or probably any soap is way easier and to put your grips back on you just put your grip on then tap it lightly with your hand each tap pushes it on further this works multiple times

    • @smerdopsis6092
      @smerdopsis6092 6 дней назад

      Incredible tip, I didn't have hair spray, I immediately tested the dish soap and it took the same amount of time to read your comment as getting the grip off. Less than a minute. A screwdriver helps as well to get in between the grip to drip soap into.

    What is the difference between WD 40 and hair spray for installing the grip?

    • @thebasementbikeshop2336
      @thebasementbikeshop2336  3 года назад +2

      I was taught to use hairspray by an old "yoda" of the bicycle mechanic trade. He said of all the things he has tried, hairspray dried fast and held the best, even in a little rain.

    you can take your bike to the shower and spray hot water straight into the grip and itll expand temporarily and it becomes very easy to pull out.

    Is there onther way to not break the bar ends

    • @thebasementbikeshop2336
      @thebasementbikeshop2336  5 лет назад

      I've thought about shooting some lubricant or water into it and turning it like I do with the grips. If there is a hole in your barends, you could use an air compressor to shoot the barends out like a champagne cork by putting the air nozzle in one side and plugging up the other side. I hope that helps.
