Re: [RBW] Help me remove my Ergon grip
Try some pb blaster, spray a small amount on it for a couple of days. It works incredibly well especially when compared to WD 40. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Help me remove my Ergon grip
Ergon biocork? I think that's are area that would be ok to introduce a bit of heat - I'd go for that before adding more torque to the bolt head - maybe lighter/butane lighter grade heat, not torch heat. If'n that fails, I'd drip a bit more oil in there and go with short turning motions with the hex key to simulate a hammer drill type of effect. If'n that fails I'd go full torque and prepare for the stripping of the bolt head. When that happens I'd whip out my dremel and cut a slot in the head of the bolt and start attacking it with a screwdriver. When that fails I'd start cutting away more of the bolt head with my dremel until it's substantially reduced or removed enough so as to be able to remove the grip because it's no longer holding tension. I'd then set about backing the remainder of the screw out of the grip if I were so inclined to not explain how I really felt about it with a sledgehammer. I might then contact Ergon about the extent of their warranty :) -Jeff Silver Spring, MD On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 10:12 PM, Pondero wrote: > So I snugged the small hex screw (that holds the grip to the bar) down > nice and tight, then rode (and sweated) for a couple of years.

[RBW] Help me remove my Ergon grip
I stripped a hex key style crank arm dust cap recently. I think I used a paperclip or something slim to wedge in along with the wrench. It worked. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks, Patrick! That is exactly the direction I was headed. But I paused...just in case someone had any more "proper tools" ideas I had missed.

[RBW] Help me remove my Ergon grip
The inanimate are a peculiar bunch and sometimes need, especially under conditions such as actual use, motivations outside standard practices. When proper tools fail, I fall back to duct tape and my Buck knife. If those fail, it’s a rock as a hammer, the Buck knife or screwdriver as a chisel, followed by the purchase of new part(s). This system is fool proof, obviously, and has never failed. Grin. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Help me remove my Ergon grip
So I snugged the small hex screw (that holds the grip to the bar) down nice and tight, then rode (and sweated) for a couple of years. Now I want to remove my Ergon grips to install some new brake levers. But the screws don't move. So far I've sprayed the screw with WD40 I had handy. My hex key twists, and I fear I'm on the edge of stripping the head. What should be my next step? Thanks for any tips...
