Grip Puppy install

[saveitk]

I just got mine in the mail... it says to use soapy water in the grip puppy and on the bike's grip.. anything else I need to know? (besides trimming them to fit in the end...)

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I would trim before install to get a straighter cut

Trim first, I used scizzors. I just sprayed a little windex on the inside and they went right on.

You may want to get some 100 grit sandpaper and rouind those edges off after cutting them.

I'll have to try the Windex next time. I used soapy water the first time and my thumbs were VERY sore by the time I got them both on.

Best of the 13 mods I've done, however! :thumbup:

i filled up a cereal bowl with some warm water with Palmolive in it. I only used my fingertip and dabbed it in the water and then "fingered" the grip puppies as far as i could get in there. They stretch pretty well so getting them on was pretty easy. But i cut them b4 as well. I just eyed them up. In retrospect this post sounds very perverse but i swear, its about a man and his grip puppies. :rockon:

I think everyone has it covered. I trimmed mine with scissors and then took a glass of warm water and put a little dish soap in there. I rubbed the handles and the inside of the grip puppys and they went right on. Definitely a bit more comfy now. I'd say it was $10 well spent. :thumbup:

I felt stupid for asking since they went on so easily

NO one mentioned taking off the bar weights ( I did)

They do reduce the road vibration a tad.. not bad for a $9 mod!
