Removing Hot Grips

Georgey Burgess · 2009-06-03 08:10:49

Upgrading the bike this week and need to take off my hot grips before swapping bikes. Anyone done this before? Is there an easy way of breaking down the glue on the grips without damaging the bike?

Take off bar end weights, hair dryer to soften the glue behind the rubber grip and try to prise in a blunt screwdriver in the end, separating the grip from the bar. Like when you took off the originals?

Alternatively work in some washing liquid with the screwdriver to loosen up the grips, but you'll have clean thoroughly and apply glue before refitting them on a new set of handlebars.
