Hey everyone,

Appreciate all the help so far, i was sitting here looking at my grips and havent tried but wondering about removing them, they are the factory Bontrager's that came on my bike and they probably only have 75 miles on them, are they easy to remove, I would like to reuse them on another bar since there so new. Any tips on getting them off.

Thanks.

I use an air compressor. Consider switching to lock-ons. Hope that helps.

And if you don't have an air compressor, take a medium sized flat head screwdriver and run it up under the grips from the bar end, leave the screwdriver in there and spray aerosol hairspray up into the gap twist and pull/push off and spray more hairspray as needed. Be aware that this technique will probably scratch the bars slightly but doesn't damage either the bars or the grips if done thoughtfully.

Just try to lift the edge and pour a bit of rubbing alcohol between the grip and bar, or use a screwdriver as trboxman mentioned. After that a bit of a twisting motion, some elbow grease, and some patience and you should be able to get them off. You may need to apply the rubbing alcohol several times, it evaporates quickly.

I find pushing the welded end of a brake cable (we all cut the excess off) with a needle nose pliers under the grip and squirting a shot of windex works real well. They twist right off and don't stretch the gips.
