Handlebar grips, ends and tapes FAQs
How to change bike handlebar grips?
Take off the old grips first. There are various methods of loosening them, including using rubbing alcohol, warm water, or even compressed air. Then tidy up the surface of the handlebar. Apply rubbing alcohol or grip glue inside the new grips so they go on more smoothly. Slide them into position and allow them to dry up before getting on your bike again.
Are all dirt bike grips the same size?
No, not all dirt bike grips are the same size. The left grip will usually fit a standard handlebar, but the right grip needs to fit over the throttle tube and is slightly larger. There are also variations between models and makers for grip length and texture. Here at Halfords, we carry a selection of dirt and MTB grips to fit different bikes and riding styles.
How to change tape on bike handlebars?
To fit new handlebar tape to your bike, take off the old tape and peel off any residue. Apply the new tape from the bar ends towards the stem, overlapping the layers neatly. Finish by securing the ends with finishing tape and installing bar end plugs. For quality bar tape in a variety of colours and thicknesses, visit Halfords in store or online.
