bar grips
every time I use the canyon dancer tie down,it pulls the grip up the handlebar.What am I doing wrong or is this normal?I just find it a pain in the ass and worry about fucking up the throttle.

I'm not exactly sure which tie down your using, but perhaps this will help. Take a piece of nylon rope tie it's ends and make a loop. the loop when stretched between your fingers should go no farther than where your ties attach to your bars. Attach your ties to the bars, then one at a time, instead of running your ties to where they attach on the trailer (I'm assuming trailer) take the end and go through one end of the loop and THEN down to the attaching point. Do the same for the other side. this will keep the ties from sliding when tightened, yet allow them to snug up on the bars. Hopefully this is what you were referring to. Otherwise I'll just shut up.

Use PVC over the grips with the canyon dancer. 1 3/4" if possible.
