Yarp. Replace them with a nice set of Odi Rogues or Oury's:

Ellenette hairspray or spray tack.

Just don't try to take them off again. They won't budge!

Lock on grips are well worth it. You only need to buy the bonus pack once and can just use replacement grips after that, but make sure that you don't overtighten the bolts.

The best I've found are ODI cross-trainers. Good for not terribly big hands and more bump absorption than the Rogues.

I've got a set of ODI ruffian lock ons going spare i could sell. Only used for one ride. Full lock on kit, but one of the end plugs has gone walkies.

Try not.
Do, or do not.
There is no try

You can read how I solved that here! [:)]

Didn't know about hairspray though... But how do you take them off afterwards?

To clip or not to clip, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind of men to suffer the dings and contusions of unclipp'd riding, or to bind thy feet against a sea of gnarly singletrack and by these contraptions, ride o'er them with ease. To clip... to slip no more, and by clipping to end the buttache and the thousand natural shocks that ryders are heir to; tis a consummation devoutly to be honed. No clip - to slip perchance to be thrashed most heinously...

you pry them off by sliding a screwdriver under them.

Bristows works particularly well, or Nettos own brand, 'fixation'.

I installed my new riser bars and grips yesterday. They told me to spit into the grips to slide them on and it worked [:D]

Now the grips hold to the bars rock-solid. Guess the stuff in between dried up! [:D] No need for hairspray (p.s. who uses it for their hairstyles? I do sometimes! [:D])
