the likes of bay engineer supplies have industrial lockwire in half pound rounds for $50ish bucks. The metric converstion of this wire is 0.8xxmm. stainless steel. Bike shops sell similar stuff in 15ish metre lengths for between $15-20.

yeah, it is generally cheaper from the likes of the outlet quoted above, a big roll will last most people for years - always handy to have in the shed. make sure it is stainless steel lockwire as the right stuff is designed to be twisted up tight like you need it. That warehouse stuff is probably just zinc plated shite, more suited for gardening etc.

Cycletreads sells it in small qty's, either as a pack or if you really good and nice they may cut some off their big roll for you....

Or - Most bike shops worth their salt should have lockwire in stock, or be able to get it in for you - several wholesalers carry it.

right, im sick of tie wire. and sick of slipping grips.

whats the best glue for the best price?

your bike shop should have some grip glue, if it dont work just go mental at them. that easy!

No more nails isn't fail proof apparently. Unless it takes more than two days to set. Worked amazing on my CR, but doesn't work at all on my Yamaha. Same grips...different bars. Dunno why.

I have wired, but it doesn't seem to stop the twist on the end. Stops them coming off though. It's a good start. I think I may remove and re -glue and wire. What a pain.

There is a rubberised superglue that you can get. Its what people use to recone subs - ask on icemag Sam.

Bostick 999 -its a rubberised contact glue - totally clear - I use it for repairing life rafts, inflatables and pond/ reservour liners.. amazing shit.
hard to get in small quantities though. visit Waihi and I'll give you a grip full

And what "inflatables" might those be????


Which reminds me of a joke:

Hm...bit of a way to drive today, but thanks.
Took the slippery grips out today. They slipped. Not to bad until I was loading up the trailer then the bike just fell out of my hands and I was left with a handle

Some good bails though. Hit a 2" water pipe...didn't pay enough attention to the little thing and it flicked me over the handle bars some how. Amazing. Guys I was with broke 2 clutch leavers, and a set of handlebars on a CR250. Nice after market ones too. No injuries fortunately.
