BMX maintenance Putting Grips On A Bike

 

Taking off old grips and putting new grips on your bike is about as basic as you can get when it comes to bike maintenance. However, there are a few tips and tricks that can help you do the job quicker so you can get back out there riding again. Here’s a few of our favorite ways to get’r done…

There are about a million and a half (give or take) ways to install grips on a bike, so if you have your own method that you like, that’s fine. Hell, your way may even work better for some people than ours, so go ahead and post it in the comments below. With that said, here’s how we do it.

Some other ways to get grips onto bars are:
- Using an air compressor with a narrow tip to blast the grip onto the bar. This is popular in bike shops where air compressors are common.
- Spraying a small amount of hair spray in the grip and quickly putting it on the bar. The liquid makes it slide on easily. Then when it dries, the hairspray helps the grip stick better so you never get throttle grip.
- Using ultra-sonic brain waves to telepathically command the grip to jump onto the grip. For this you have to be pro though with at least seven sponsors.
