I'll have a look in the bike station; also if you could send me some pics Gaz?


cheers.


PS I bought some foam (roadie) grips from poundland, 4 long ones for road-bars, cut them down and tried to put them on using cheap hairspray, not sticking... so.... gonna try new grips and expensive hairspray. correct?

Do some the morra night, hairspray is hairspray so I suspect its the grips alas.

If you are talking foam grips you'd be better off with spraymount. Bloody deadly things in the wet.

 

[jonnymcenroe]

I saw them as a £1 alternative to Ritcheys.

Now thinking rubber is the way forward anyways.

Loved my BITD Ame grips... can still get 'em just for top dollar so stuff it.

Hand-me-downs are the new NOS

if it is cheap foam - WD40 sometimes works, it melts the foam a little so it sticks.

 

[jonnymcenroe]

TK it is indeed cheap foam, poundland special.

I'll try the wd-4o thing, if that doesn't work i'll have to put my barends back on to avoid certain death.

I have no idea how these SS freaks with cut-down flat bars with NO grips at all; survive in the city, wet or dry; suicide no?
