[RBW] Re: Installing Cork grips for bar ends tip needed please...
I've had good luck with 3M Super 77 or High Strength 90 spray adhesives. I haven't used the Permatex, but I'd guess that the spray adhesives might leave less of a mess if you decide to remove/replace the grips at some point.

I have been pondering this same question, and wondered if it would be OK to tape the ends until grips are back in stock? Would the tape residue later make the grip installation difficult? What kind of glue do people use? How can you get the grips off if you need to? Michael On Wednesday, May 22, 2013 11:38:29 PM UTC-4, Michael wrote: [Forehead slap...]...

White gas or lighter fluid will remove any handlebar tape goo. So you should be fine taping it till you get the details worked out.

The what glue + how to get cork grips off Qs came up recently in another thread. Glue: Permatex Form A Gasket #1 available at auto parts stores. Related Riv video here http://youtu.be/0VaUlzsDDvk. To remove: hold the grip firmly w/ both hands and twist. It takes some effort to break the seal, but once it's broken the grip slides right off and the glue chips off with a plastic scraper. --Smitty On Thursday, May 23, 2013 6:00:28 AM UTC-7, Michael Hechmer wrote: I have been pondering this same question, and wondered if it would be OK to tape the ends until grips are back in stock?

If it's just for checking out stem length, just ride bare, don't even fake it with the cork. Then when you got it, glue 'em.

Right, no grips until the stem and cockpit are finalized works for me. If bare bars bother you, uses h-bar tape laying around can be put on or off in minutes. Wrap it from the brake levers back to the bar ends and finish with electrical tape. This way, pressure from palms pushing forward goes with the grain of wrapped tape. The glue thing has sworn me off cork and other such grips. I use tape or the grips that that clamp on with bolts at the ends. Not as elegant, I know, but for me, there is no such thing as a final cockpit. I'm going to be changing something sooner or later and it's going to involve dealing with nasty, glued grips. Pass.

You can practice with rubber grips. To get them off, fill up a small portable air tank at the service station, get an air hose with a rubber nozzle, slip it under the rubber grip and blast it off when you want to change to cork.

I use a wet butter knife to get off rubber grips, just work it around, takes 2 minutes. On May 23, 2013 7:41 PM, KenP ken...@comcast.net wrote: You can practice with rubber grips.

The bar-ends should keep them from slipping off, and you can snug the brake levers up aginst them to stop them sliding forward. They will still rotate on the bars, but you could try maskng tape underneath them to reduce that.

Ride with no grips until you figure stem length. --Smitty On Wednesday, May 22, 2013 2:02:55 PM UTC-7, Michael wrote: I just wanna do a temp install without glueing them on til I determine the right stem length.
