Stupid Grip Trick

I put some new grips on my mountain bike the other day. I had read somewhere that you can use "water or rubbing alcohol" to help slide the grip on. I took that to mean that they worked about the same. Well, they don't!

I finally tried the rubbing alcohol the other day. What a difference! It took me about 2 minutes to put both grips on this way. The last time I put grips on using water, it took at least half an hour and my hands were raw for days afterward.

Now if I can only learn how to wrap bar tape so I don't get funny bits sticking out around the end plugs...
