Grip slipping round affecting acceleration

[James in Brum]

It seems ages since I posted here asking advice about my bike. 
 

the right grip (my grips are heated) seems to slip round. It is not totally loose and I can accelerate but the grip moves round meaning that the cable for the heating limits the amount of rotation. I can turn it back and reset it but it keeps happening. 
 

how do I resolve this? Has the glue degenerated? Was it glue? They were fitted before I got the bike.

I think you've answered your own question .

As in glue degenerated? How do I mend it? Just new glue?

Hey, look on it as free traction control.

 

As above, sounds like the glue has failed. If it's loose you ought to be able to get the grip off and replace the glue.

I’ve heard hairspray will do the job.

Thank you all.

I have tried super glue before but I find it sets too quickly and eventually it gives! 

 

If you get the grip wrong and it sets you're screwed 

 

I have used the spray on contact adhesive for the current grips and it's been spot on 

 

Leaves enough time to get them in place before setting 

 

I heard hair spray too and tried that but it was a no go for me!

I installed them on both bikes last year and a quick way to get off is with an air line, then all I did was put a little black tape under so it was snug. Not moved at all. Keep hearing how glue fails. (r&g mostly)
