Does anyone have a favorite glue to use for cork grips on handlebars?
If it makes a difference, I'll be using it w/ the Portugese tree cork
grips and aluminum Albatross bars.

Nathan,
Mine remain glue free. The brake levers stop them from moving
forward, the bar end shifters stop them from moving backwards and the
goove in the grip for the shifter cable housing resists rotation.
I can feel a slight twisting every now and then, but it's all worked
out ok for me so
Yeah, but that only helps if the OP is using the open ended variant.
I do not have bar end shifters and do use glue. I tried super glue,
but it sets to fast to get the grip just how I wanted it. When I
tried to pull the grip off it broke apart.
So I bought the gorilla glue Riv sells with my

LX is just fine, but what's $50 in the long run? For $50 I would go
for the XT because the finish is a bit nicer.
Should I spend the extra $$ to purchase the XT wheelsets? Or is LX
ok? I just want the best possible wheels I can buy under $400.- Hide

Part of the higher expense of the Portugese cork grips sold by
Rivendell is due to the more precise bore.
If you do feel the need to use adhesive, a very small amount should be
fine. A carpenter's glue such as Titebond II or III should provide
adequate adhesion and still allow clean removal

You don't mention the Bikery (?) in Stillwater. From what I hear,
it's a destination worth visiting (haven't been there myself). Six of

I recently installed some cork grips and just put a small piece of
silk hospital tape on the bar first. It gave just the right amount
of friction to hold them in place. Any thin tape that's got some
texture to it ought to work. (cloth handlebar tape and rim tape were
too thick)

I think Al in a wet, gritty environment wouldn't last as long as
steel. But in dry SoCal, either one will work. I've got an Al 24T on
my (admittedly underused) MTB that's been on there for years and looks
fine. The 24T on my Atlantis is plain old steel (shows rust and is
magnetic) and
I estimated about 100 riders. They were hoping for 12!

into riding the GDr with me next summer, since he is a true mountain biker. I
could use a good coach.

Hair spray works great on grips, never had one loosen ever even on mt bikes.
Spray it on, the grip slides over the bar nicely, in a while it's good forever.
Maybe try the extra hold if you have reservations.. (just kidding).

The serviceability issue is mostly related to the freehub requiring a
14 mm allen wrench for removal/replacement. I fix bikes for a living,
and never needed a 14 mm allen wrench until this new XT hub came out
(just got the wrench a couple weeks ago). Not a big deal for me, but

Haven't ever stoped at the Bikery. Ended up stopping at a couple of
bookstores instead on this trip. Plus, a place like the Bikery
doesn't do any good for my diet. (Yes, am still trying to drop the
last pounds.) Yes, good bakeries are abundant around here. A very
hard thing to avoid
Point of reference - ordered the XL and it arrived today. A quick try
shows it to be pretty true to size. At least compared to a couple of
older, washed a few times XL t-shirts.
(Yes, am partly posting this because I can now fit in an XL. Haven't
been able to do that for many, many a year.)
Thanks guys. I think I will go with the LX hubs. I really see no
real advantage the XT has over the LX so I'm gonna use the extra $50
and buy me some Nitto Noodles. :)
