I don't understand putting meat on your handlebars, unless it's when you're tea-bagging them.

Any port in a storm.

I thought it was meant to be the toptube?

Well you are the teabagging expert

Glad to see this post finally degenerated... I was getting worried there. Far too many on topic sensible posts in a row for vorb... phew!

Best way is to lie bike on side, stretch a edge round and then slowly force it on with your body weight... Carbon bars are pretty hard though.

I concur - Not many people have teh airgun at home though.

I find the best way is to place around six strong zip ties in the grip evenly spaced out with the head facing out. Push the grip against the end of the bar with the zip ties spaced out evenly between the grip and the bar. Push and twist the grip onto the bar until it is fitted where desired. Slowly pull out zip ties with a pair of pliers making sure the head of the zip tie doesn't snap off. So much easier than forcing it on, this is the only way I put grips on.

Whatever happened to hairspray and brute force?

brute force - was that similar to old spice and blue stratos?

I think so, might have the cheaper one.
