Ok back to the gripping question(sorry for the pun).
Who has used the air technique(air line) when fitting new grips?
I heard that it's much easier to do it this way and no worries over the alignment of the grip due to the ability to manipulate the grip into place. Would you still use the adhesive glue even though I will be wire locking the grips in place?

Hairspray FTW! :lol:

I use hairspray for every set of grips (with or without lockwire), gets them on easily and sets nicely.

Just to report and close the thread, the hair spray technique worked a dream, now have new Ariete grips fitted to the bike and looks sweet.

Thank you for the advice. :peace:

Can you guys recommend a specific Renthal or Ariete grip to buy?
