You can always change grips. I switched from rubber to foam grips and haven't looked back. |

Dust them. Use french chalk or talcum powder. Use corn flour if your desperate. |

A lot of times the stickyness doesn't come from the rubber, but from you
(or rather your sweaty hands). Have you trired washing them? Try Dawn and water, then rinse. If that doesn't remove the stickyness, their's always talc. - - Compliments of: "Your Friendly Neighborhood Wheelman" If you want to E-mail me use: ChrisZCorner "at" webtv "dot" net My website (final month): http://geocities.com/czcorner |

I'd say your hands with soap as well. If you use a hand cleanser or detergent there may be something which is increasing the stickiness. If after cleaning your grips and hands with soap, it does not stabilize, using glove which will lint a little may help with the bare hand issue. Else seen as it reduces with rain, just dust your hands with talc before riding until the dry weather stickiness is to your satisfaction. |
