Handlebar Grips

Man I haven't put new grips on in ages.. It used to be that a little shot of hairspray in the grip or on the bar and stroking it a little would do the trick to get them to stick but it just doesn't seem to be working. What do you use?

I think it should have read "lock-ons" as that's what I've heard them called. I've got lock-ons on all but one of my bikes and I love em. They're not as plush as a thick set of normal grips so you pretty much have to use gloves with them, but they are very easy to install and remove. No hairspray or drying time required. And the locks and bolts are replaceable in case you really mess one up, or if you wear out the grip part, they sell just the grips to use with your old locks.

I have two sets of these, one of these with small bmx-style flanges and one without.
