They enlarged enough top slip on with some effort, but closed up once cooled down. Easy. I fitted some cheap grips to a bike by leaving the new grips in hot (not boiling) water for ~5 minutes.

Every home has some lying around. Once you lift the grip off the handle bar, just squirt some in and then gently work the grip off. Just use some shampoo or washing up liquid.

Another great vid as expected! This is awesome, I’ve always been annoyed with my right grip coming loose and almost falling off, now I have a great way to keep it on! Another great vid as expected!

Thank you to patstome - I didn't have any hairspray (yes a girl with no hairspray) but used glass cleaner and it worked like a dream. Thank you!

Of course, this assumes you have an air compressor; if you do, you can slide the grips off the handlebars very easily by using the needle adaptor (used to inflate sport balls) to force air between the grip and the handlebar.

I just use water and I have a plastic syringe that I use to squirt the water in between the grip and bar. To get new grips on I also use a little water. It evaporates soon and the grips are fine.

But this is one place where it's unnecessary. Same with hairspray. Use rubbing alcohol for both applications. It will loosen grips. And it will allow new grips to slide on easily. It also evaporates quickly, leaving no residue behind. I’m the guy who has no qualms about using WD-40 on bikes. But this is one place where it’s unnecessary. Same with hairspray.
