I was afraid that water would not dry completely in the grip. Would it? If so, how long will it take to dry?
I’ve successfully used rubbing alcohol for installing rubber grips. Rubbing alcohol will evaporate much quicker than water, leaving the bar pretty much completely dry.
For fixation of rubber grips on chrome bars I’d probably try some carbon compound underneath the grip.
