Bike Handlebars Melting at Susan Villanueva blog

Bike Handlebars Melting. Yes, i remember huge mosquitoes 🦟 while touring in minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. I was spraying 100% deet (military strength) all over and melted my bicycle computer. Once a grip is deteriorating, there's no saving it. The grips are really sticky and they stick to my gloves and hands. For sticky rubber handlebar grips, avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents as they can break down the rubber and exacerbate the problem. After scrubbing, rinse the grips thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. Instead, focus on a gentle, thorough cleaning with soap and water. Now that the market is awash with 800+mm bars and stubby 30mm stems, it's becoming clear most riders' optimal bar widths are actually somewhere between 720mm and 780mm, paired with a 35m to 50mm stem. My handlebar grips for my bike have this melted look and feel. Crappy grips do this when exposed to uv in sunlight, or simple age. I run across this sometimes doing bike fixups on jank bikes. As a dirty hack, wrap them in tape until you can afford new ones. For a more secure hold, you can use a lit match to carefully melt the tapes together at a few spots, effectively “welding” the handlebar.
