I did this yeterday with a box cutter, and then a little superfine sand paper to make the surface clean. It took about 10 minutes total. On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 3:48 PM, All Rounder 2000 s_schermerh...@yahoo.com wrote: Will be interested to read much more on this. I have the traditional Riv

I didn't glue mine onand glad I didn't cause I've already changed the stem. The bar end shifter stops them from moving backwards, the brake lever stops them from moving forward and the groove/shifter cable housing stop almost all of the rotation. Angus On Jul 20, 10:14 am, Ginz

I got real lucky once. Applying steadily increasing pressure twist movement, the grip popped off in one piece with minimal muck on the bar. The other times, even lately when I used Elmer's wood glue, my luck did not hold - rather the glue did. The grip broke apart leaving chunks on the bar.

I have done this a few times. Like Joel, I got lucky exactly one time and the grip basically just popped loose and came right off. Every other time it's been a razor blade and some time to kill. I found that using a window scraper type blade holder is helpful. Think of it like cutting corn off
