![]() ![]() ![]() Just blow some air on the tip of the grips while you are pushing. That is if you use something to help the process. Fit the new grips all the way to the bar end.Don’t use too much force though, you don’t want to rip the rubber. After that, it’s easy to push it to the end. Usually, the hardest part is fitting the grip to the middle of the bar. It depends on your handlebars and the grips you bought. Just start with the tip and see how it goes. Start slowly, this is going to take both force and brains. ![]() But I think it’s best if you use a brake cleaner. I have seen people getting rid of the glue with a knife or a razor. So, the best thing to do is clean the bar. Even if there is no glue, the bar may be dirty. If you are doing this for the first time on your bike, chances are, there will be glue on the bar. Again, the easiest way to do this is just to cut the old grips. If you don’t want to do this or if you are scared of damaging the handlebar, use compressed air. Then, you can just cut up the old rubber grip. Check if there is a bar end on the grips, this keeps them closed and intact with the bars. Have you ever changed grips on a bicycle? It’s the same thing. For instance, if the left grip is the only one that’s broken up, you can only replace that one, and leave the right grip intact. I recommend changing both sides but it’s your decision. It goes without saying, you will need new handle grips. Also, these, usually have a nicer design, they are not made only from rubber. Integral style grips are harder, you can identify them from the plastic throttle tube. Rubber handle grips are easy to identify. Just find out the type of grip your bike has. And that’s not something I expect from beginners, nor do I advise beginners to do that. If you do not have a throttle cable, you will need to work on the control box too. Because of the throttle cables, you may need to touch a lot of electronic components. Integral tube grips have a throttle sleeve on the right bar. This guide is for beginners, so we will only be focusing on rubber grips. ![]() But all in all, there are two types of grips that are widely used, rubber handle grips and integral-style grips. I believe some bike models have specific grips. You can find many different styles of handlebar grips. First and foremost, we have to know what kind of grip you have. ![]()
