[ST] Grip removal and replacement

[Nicolas Nowak <nnowak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My first choice is compressed air thru a small nozzle for removing grips
and putting them back on.  The grips just float on and off the bars and
then stick instantly when the air is shut off.  For those that are less
gifted in the tool department, my second choice is Isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol).  Pry up a small gap in the grip and pour in some alcohol
and work it around.  The grip will then slide off fairly easily.  To put
the grip back on just pour some alcohol through the grip and slide it back
on.  It is nice and slippery and does not leave a sticky mess like
hairspray can.

My brother also told me that he has used straight vodka as a substitute for
the isopropyl alcohol and that it worked very well.  Supposedly it gave his
bike a "fresh clean smell".  Personally I find this to be a waste of good
alcohol.
