"Hi I'm Evan from Gregg's Cycles and today we're going to show you how remove your handlebar grips and reinstall new ones. The way that we do it here is we use some compressed air and lift up the grip and stick your air-check underneath the grip and just blow a little air, and it comes right off. An easier way that you could maybe do it yourself at home, take your razorblade or your razor knife and then just go along the top of the grip and cut it right in half, and that way it will just kind of peel back and then you can just reinstall your new ones. Also an easy at-home installation method is a little bit of aerosol hairspray inside the grip, and then they slide right on and you let them sit overnight and they should be pretty solid. No need to mess or fuss with them and should be good to go. That is the easiest way to reinstall handlebar grips."
