On pedal cycles we used to use hair spray to stop grips rotating.
K2-K6:
Oh, and wash the grip with household washing up liquid (has salts to degrease incorporated*) and bottle brush, then give a gentle simmer in water for 5 minutes to properly clean it.
* it's why you shouldn't use it on cars, paintwork etc including aluminium or UPVC window installation. From my obscure facts file that sometimes gets snagged as it's wirling around inside my head and may have no relevance to your current situation ;D
Sesman:
Oddly enough I used hair spray on my grips. I recently scuffed the End of one while manoeuvring in the garage and had to replace it. It proved to be a devil to get off again. Couldn’t tell which brand is best as I ‘borrowed, it from the wife without her knowledge. :)
Nurse Julie:
Done just over 1000 miles on Kitty now, 12 weeks since she went on the road. I've not managed to do as many miles on any of my bikes so far this summer as have had other stuff going on that took priority. Kitty is a lovely bike and rides beautifully.

....is that you in the reflection Julie? ;D
