RockShox Smooth TwistLoc Grips Description:
The RockShox Smooth TwistLoc Grips feature a staggered length that allows a single twist style shifter or a RockShox TwistLoc dropper post remote to be installed on one side of a handlebar, and then a full length grip will provide a similar level of traction and feel on the other side of the handlebar. The very grippy rubber compound provides great traction even with wet palms, and the smooth surface will eliminate hot spots and skin irritations. A midsized outer diameter fits a wide range of hand sizes and is an ideal balance of ergonomics, traction, and bar feel. Last but not least, these slip on style grips have a small enough inner diameter to create a secure hold on the handlebar to prevent a rotating grip, especially if the grips are installed with the aid of hair spray or mild spray on adhesive.
Features:

- 29mm grip diameter strikes an ideal balance of comfort, traction, and bar feel
- Includes end plugs for both grips

Tips for installing grips:
- Spray hairspray or mild spray-on adhesive inside of the grip and slide grip onto the handlebar before the spray dries; once the spray dries it will stick the grips onto the handlebar so they won't slide around or turn when operating the TwistLoc/twist style shifter
- Alternatively, an air compressor can be used along with an air chuck to blow a layer of air between the grip and handlebar to facilitate getting a grip onto the bar
- It is not recommended to use soapy water to slide the grips on except as a last resort as it provides the least secure bond to the handlebar, and it is more likely for the grip to rotate or slide around on the handlebar when soapy water is used to perform the grip install on the handlebars
