i've read that hairspray is a good substitute for grip glue. does it have to be aerosol hairspray or will pumped hairspray do? is there a special ingredient that needs to be present?

thanks

dunno about hairspray, but I've used brake cleaner a few times. it allows the grip to slip on, then dries sticky enough to keep them in place.

Be carful on brake cleaner. I use to use it on street grips but on my renthal soft race grips they ate right through them. saftey wire FTW

I've used the cheapest aerosol that hair spray I could find in the past.

These days, compressed air works best. Nothing to dry and bike is ready to go immediately.

For better comfort, check out the bmw grips. Much better than progrip.

+1 compressed air does work best not only have I seen it used on motorcycle grips, but I used in on my mountain bike grips!
