Grip and Balancer

[bigboystoys]

Hi all,

 

I'm riding a spec1 at the moment.

Previous owner changed the grip and balancers which I didnt like aesthetically.

 

 

I took out the balancers and noticed that there's no screw thread (balancers pressed into the handle bar). Is this a spec1 handle bar?

 

Next question is, how do you take out the grip? I tried to pull out but it seems like it's stuck on it. Didnt dare to pull more coz I'm not too sure about it.

 

Please don't ask me to go to bikeshop coz I wanna DIY and learn.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

you need an air gun to blow out the grip... i tried that before... end up in bike shop doing..

or u can use pen knife and scissors.. done it b4.

Another way is to put water/soap inside the grip wif watever thing u can think of...This is wat i do for my bicycle few years back! :cheeky:

[s4vtec]

dun ever try to use water and/or soap when INSTALLING the grips back...

 

there should have a shaft-in bracket with screw thread for the balancer. seems tat urs is a replaced handle bar with after market balancer...

my also .. my balancer like 1 side tight 1 side loss and the grip will make my palm pain after riding

if after replacing new grips and feel slippery, a steel wire is the fix...

 

tie the grip with steel wire...

[ahboy_ahboy]

complicated... @_@ steel wire?? where to get

[warrior.c.o.n.p]

hardware shop mah....

[ahboy_ahboy]

oh... okie... anyway i think i better go lab buy carbon type 1

[E.M]

so if its a after market handle bar without any screw thread, theres no way to put the balancer ??? need to change the handle bar in order to fix the balancer ?

[Sixer]

can, use those type of balancers that comes with rubber.

i tink mayb yr handle is chong 1. When i brought my vtec, the shop fix on a version s handle bar instead of vtec handle bar. Regarding the no screw thread i dunnoe much abt it. But i tink it wil cos some problem for yr balancer as it can't grip well.

 

Version s or project big 1 handle bar lower and shorter in length. Try riding a version s or project big 1 and u can feel the difference le. By looking it looks almost the same.
