Spray hairspray inside them as you put them on.

Does hairspray work on carbon handlebars too? It seems to me that an alcohol based product like that would ruin the carbon's adhesive.....any comments/suggestions?

I'm running EC90SL Carbon bars with titec foam grips.

They dont slip and I've added nothing.

I am using Extralite's foam grips over a Maxm MX5, no hairspray and no movement.
