Default Got Sticky Grips ?

I found that using Ronson lighter fluid does a great job of removing the stickiness from rubber grips and also renews the appearance. Just passing it along.

I have got the stickiest grips that you have ever seen in your life my Indy donated a pair of pull offs to my bike one time so he would not have to touch them nasty bastards. The next time I get close to wallyworld I will buy some for my Indy's sake

I'm in the other camp.
Spending hours having to really hold onto the handlebars makes my arms tired.

I ride with a very light touch. I want sticky grips. Love the grips I have.

I bought new ones too and not only because of the stickiness...the looks were a big reason too.

Somehow sticky grips conjures up other images.

My grips never get sticky, because I wear gloves when I ride.

I've tried lighter fluid and other spirits to get the sticky off but silicone spray seems to work the best for me.

I buy the cheap leather grip covers at rallies for about $7 and cut off the fringe, that works even better.
