RoadieRyan Was it possible you were trying to install 22.2mm grips onto 23.8mm bars?
Anyway, Michael Riv cork grips are 22.2mm and Albatross bars are 22.2mm. I agree with Ryan that you should do a dryfit first, but it should be easy. Mine slid on effortlessly when dry-fitting them. Then I used a gaskety rubber material to put them on, like Andy suggested. Days later I could still kind of rotate them like motorcycle throttle. I didn't like that so I re-installed them with Gorilla Glue. That stuck them in place, and I think I waited overnight. Next time I had to get them off though, I couldn't. I had to scrape them off and put on a new set when I was ready.
