    I advocate lock-ons too but that does not help the OP in this case.

    Provide a solution first then preach if you like.

    I've had a little practice, so know all the possible ways to solve the problem (mucking about teaches you things).

    Here is a small sample of the cast-offs' that I've set aside from "upgrading" grips for other people:

    It's better to make use of them than to send them to landfill.

    Well I had this problem and my brother suggested that I have sex with them!!! (he is not even a roadie)

    Good idea is to put them in hot water to expand the material before lubricating them and fitting.

    My official opinion is not to have sex with them - (well maybe if they are fit).
    ...take your pickelf on your holibobs.... :D

    jeez :roll:

    To be fair, the OP did ask his question over five years ago, so he's probably sorted it out by now...

    But five year old grips will have worn out ! Hopefully they were replaced with lock on ones .

    Be like Sheldon Brown: leave your mark so that others can make use of it long after you're gone.

    Useful hints and tips get remembered, trivial banter gets forgotten - that is the way of internet forums.

    Doesn't seem so - he never mentioned a compressor, for example.
