I put on new grips cause of my new handlebars but the grips wont stay on. The glue dosent work, it says on the package that the glue should work for MX grips. So is their any other way to keep my grips on other than glue?

When I put my grips on I use hairspray at first, slide the grip on, figure out how I like it, and by that time the hairspray is dry, and the grips stay on perfectly. If that doesn't work you can buy small metal rings that wrap around the grips, stopping them from moving (not sure where you get them though, I think at an MX shop, but it might just be a generic thing).

well what i do sometimes is pore gas into the grip hurry up and stick it on how u like it and by that time the gas has evaporated and it has stuck on there always works for me

Have any of you heard of safety wire? It ain't nothing new. It's been around for a while and try using Renthal grip glue. It's the best i've used yet. But with safety wire you don't even need glue!

what you should do is go to the hard ware store and buy some
wire thats not to thick maby like 1mm - 2mm wrap it around and the use plyers to twist the ends together then cut acess of and push it down in to the grips
it works well
