Any of you wearing out ur grips? I am on my 3rd set of traction grips, first 2 the end of the throttle wore off and not this set is doing the same and it is also now sliding off the plastic sleeve. i am lookin for something with the same comfort but will last longer. |

My grips wear out fairly quick, but for the price who cares....I just keep an extra set on hand.. |

Mine don't necessarily wear out but I had to replace the left one (did both anyways) as it started twisting. I determined it might be because I opened up the end of the grip to accept a bar end tip on it. Water and soap and whatnot was likely getting in there and breaking down the glue. I replaced them and didn't open up the end this time...also put a foam "donut" from my BMX days and put it between the grip and electronics next to the left one and that should seal it up good. Haven't had a problem in over a year now. (Message edited by lovematt on July 22, 2005) |

I've only really worn out one set, but I have had them start sliding around. For me it seems to be more of a problem on the throttle side. I usually just pull them off, clean the bar, and glue them back on. I might try safety wire if the current set starts sliding. |

I used the grip glue that my HD shop uses. Sucker does not move one bit. |

Mine wear like that too... The top of the outer portion of the throttle side. IT's just developed a hole so they're pretty much ready for replacement. |
