We used ordinary iso alcohol for this purpose. Any oil or similar contaminants would cause the grip to not adhere. Michael J.

Aqua-Net probably should have worked but I ended up putting on those bars, hmm, what are they called?, that make the bike look like a bull. Or a two-point deer. Anyway, they sure hold on the grips. Plus, I do use them to change grip once in a while, which I think is helping the old tennis elbow. |

I personally wrote the manufacturing instructions and I remember having a good laugh when going over the Bill of Material. Aqua-Net has a company part number and approved source: the local supermarket, lol. Michael J.
