problem: getting grips off painted bars

[Richie T]

basically, i spray painted my ride bars and because im inpatent, i decided to put my grips on to quickly when the paint hadnt dried completly. so now some of the foam is like sticking to the paint/steel so im not sure what to do! tryed using hot water to ease them off but that doesnt work - ideas would be very helpfull cheers in advance

air compressor, put the nozzle under the grip, blow, and they should come off

cut the grips off and get new ones(BMX)

Rubber grips, end of story.

I don't think that an air compressor would work with foam... Just rip off the grips since you either should get some bmx ones or you already have like a thousand foam grips laying around...

furniture polish spray on a scrwdriver
put it under the grip and turn it all the way around the bar.
grip will slide off.

why not just keep them as they are??? they are obviously stuck... so as long as theyres no throttle grip keep as is

the thing is i wont to cut my bars down from 15.5's to 14's wide - since i keep hitting my knees doing barspins and my fingers and such.

just buy bmx grips and cut the other 1s off, how do you hit your legs with 15.5s lol i ride 17s and i can bar easy.
