Troubleshooting
Grip feels loose or spins on the handlebar.
The grip adhesive may not have cured properly or an insufficient amount was used. Remove the grip, clean both surfaces, and reapply a suitable grip adhesive, ensuring full coverage and allowing adequate curing time.
Grip is difficult to slide onto the handlebar.
Ensure you are attempting to install on a 7/8" (22.2mm) handlebar. Try applying a small amount of lubricant (like rubbing alcohol, which evaporates) to the inside of the grip or the handlebar to aid installation. Do not force the grip on, as this can cause damage.
Grip material feels sticky or is degrading.
This may indicate exposure to incompatible chemicals or extreme temperatures. Clean gently with mild soap and water. If degradation persists, replacement may be necessary.
