- Apply a squirt of hairspray or hand sanitizer inside the grip. (we recommend this method if an air compressor is not available)
- Get the excess hairspray out by flinging the grip while still in your hand.
- Push or pull the new grip onto the bar. Use more hairspray if necessary. Don't stop pushing until the grip is all the way on.
