STREET MAINTENANCE

1. Clean your grips regularly : After each use, clean your grips with mild soap and water to remove any sweat or dirt that has accumulated. Let them dry completely before storing them.
2. Avoid washing your grips in the washing machine: Although it is tempting to put your grips in the washing machine to clean them, this can damage them and reduce their lifespan. It is better to wash them by hand.
3. Don't expose them to direct sun: While it may be tempting to leave your handles in the sun to dry faster, this can cause them to dry out and crack over time. Instead, let them air dry in the shade.
4. Store them correctly: Storing your grips correctly is important to maintain their shape and prevent them from becoming damaged. Store your pads in a cool, dry place, and make sure they are completely dry before storing them.
5. Replace them when necessary: ​​Grips can wear out over time and lose their ability to protect your hands. If your grips are worn or torn, it's time to replace them with new ones. Picsil street range
