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

I thought it was meant to be the toptube?

Any port in a storm.

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!

Bloody hell these grips are hard work to put.

I just about ripped the skin off the palms of my hand getting these bad bois on.

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.

Yeah the carbon seemed to stick to it, at least that should mean they are well stuck down.

Feel nice 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?

I think so, might have the cheaper one.
