Troubleshooting
Grips slipping on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar surface is completely clean and dry before re-installing; use hairspray or specialized grip glue if slippage persists.
Difficult to slide onto the handlebar
Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol as a lubricant, which will act as a temporary slip agent and then dry to hold the grip firmly in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your handlebars are clean and free of old adhesive or debris. Slide the grips onto the bars; if you find the fitment tight, use a small amount of compressed air or a light application of isopropyl alcohol to help them slide into place, ensuring the alcohol evaporates completely before riding. If you intend to use metal bar plugs, carefully measure and cut the end of the grip using a sharp utility blade before finalizing the installation. To care for your grips, wash them periodically with mild soap and water to remove sweat and dirt, which helps maintain the tackiness of the mushroom pattern. Periodically inspect the thumb patch for excessive wear to know when a replacement is due.
