My daughters bike has a small grip next to the shifter that keeps sliding out. What can I use to make more sticky / make sure it stays in place? PS: Sure my daughter is probably also a bite nervous learning to ride:) by bikesailfreak Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

DustySpokes on October 7, 2024 9:30 pm First choice would be replace, they are inexpensive parts and the reason it’s sliding off because it stretched. If it’s not completely sliding off at the slightest touch a spray of hair spray will give you a little longer before you need to replace.

Davonimo on October 7, 2024 10:30 pm Hair spray. Lubes the grip up to get it on, then sets like glue to keep the grip on.
