Brake lever grip

[baba0912]

Hi Guys, wanna check with you how do you insert the brake grip on the lever? Hole seems too small to go in haha ^^

Use soap and some brute force?

[baba0912]

haha! Beside that any better idea...?

[heskeydal]

if don wan soap den have to use chain lub!!! lolz... or w4d

[baba0912]

Do we really need to lubricate it in order to slot it in?

[speedaddict]

Yes u need. So to allow the sponge to expand a bit and to allow a smoother surface to slot in.

Slowly put in the head first, then twist and slide it in.
