RE: [ST] Heated grips & hair spray

[Gaske David G DLVA <GaskeDG@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used to work as a bicycle mechanic and air house / hair spray was the
number one way of getting grips off,  and the new one one.  Had a guy come
in with his groups just a slipping and a sliding all over.  We pull them
off, ask him what he did and he pulls out a can of hair moose (sp?).  So
yeah it does matter, but what kind works I dunno.  Spray paint also works,
but it is pretty messy.

somehow there's never any in the garage when i need it.  ;-)

(seriously -- i've heard the same thing from many others.  so, as a
"guys are so dense" question:  does it matter what kind of hairspray
one gets for this purpose?  are there some kinds that wouldn't work?)
