    lol, "obviously this person's mate chose these for him." I thought the turquoise grips suited the bike quite nicely! Really sets it off from the others, hehe. Nice video. Too bad I didn't have a can of spray paint when I was installing my grips last night. I used copious amounts of alcohol (on the grips, not on myself), but that job was super difficult. I got some nasty blisters on my hands from working the grips onto the bars.

    Compressed air works best to remove the grips.

    What brand and make/size is the wire your using? I have a terrible time with the wire breaking before it even gets snug around the grips. Thank you.

    All racing bikes using wire to make the grip stays at position.

    I agree with you. Seems dumb to me. But perhaps this is a bike that will br raced. I know the racing organizations wire every nut to it's associated bolt. But on a street bike? If the glue works why would you need a piece of wire there to tear up your hand? And as tight as he's twisting the wire it is very likely to cut the soft grips.
