The super glue has been fine thus far, mostly because grips are pretty static.<br /><br />Philip- I have a heavy duty center stand that is fantastic. It isn't the stand, it is the insane wind we have here. Even when I park with the wind direction in mind, there is always a gust from the side you can't predict. I had the same problem when it had a really great kickstand. You get used to it when you have been here for awhile. Sometimes I actually have to lock my bikes to something to keep them from being blown over : )Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-41205151177593681252011-09-13T16:51:13.700-07:002011-09-13T16:51:13.700-07:00If your bat is blowing over /all the time/ would i...If your bat is blowing over /all the time/ would it be a good idea to look into a different kickstand solution? I'm all for repairing instead of replacing grips (and everything really) but if replacing a dysfunctional stand with a functional one could save all the other troubles... Just a thought :)<br />Thanks for the helpful posts!Phillip Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-47351411165152862572011-09-12T06:44:35.924-07:002011-09-12T06:44:35.924-07:00Thanks for the info on the Rivendell grips!

It gives a little and therefor doesn't crack over time. I did lose a chunk of cork last time my bike fell over. Next time I am going to get my grips at Rivendell.Mary Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374607185775121451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-92070078966441934152011-09-12T05:00:16.504-07:002011-09-12T05:00:16.504-07:00It was brought to may attention a while ago that t...It was brought to may attention a while ago that there are people in this world who think that when a shirt loses a button it is "broken" and needs to be replaced.<br /><br />I am totally unable to grasp this way of thinking.kfgnoreply@blogger.com
