TPV Grips
Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) are a group of simultaneously thermoplastic and elastic plastics: Elastomer molecules are embedded in a matrix of thermoplastic.
Handlebar grips made of TPV sit very tightly on the handlebar or throttle sleeve. A trick from Good Old America makes installation much easier.
Before mounting, spray the inside of the "rubbers" with WD-40. Some of you might object that WD-40 is a lubricant. Well, this is true and yet not true. WD-40 is first and foremost a cleaning agent that displaces water. As the volatile components evaporate, however, a slightly greasy residue remains. But: for our TPV "rubbers", WD-40 is just right the right thing. As long as WD-40 is moist, you can easily push on even the super tightest TPV grips on the handlebars. In the process, WD-40 dissolves the "rubbers" on the inside a little bit and ensures that they virtually stick to the handlebars. After 24 hours drying time, the "rubbers" then sit bombproof on handlebar and throttle sleeve.
