see if you can use compressed air and WD mate first

Dip the whole bike in beer.



....or if you don't have enough beer try a heat gun mate (or in your case hair drier).

not these grips mate

the problem i have is that the rubber of the grip is sitting on a solid plastic bit

can acetone dissolve rubber or plastic?

Try metho or wd40...they won't attack the plastic.

If Lexi can fit the thing, surely she could help you get off as well. Give her a call maybe ?.
