I like the Pro Grip 699.
If your tossing the old ones simply cutting them off with a razor blade is the easiest. To install you need some kind of lubricant that will dry out. I like to use a little brake cleaner because it dries quicker than anything else I've tried. You can also use soapy water or hair spray.

Hey I just bought a set of Ourys for my bike. By far the best grips around. I put them on everything else, but I was curious, did you have to cut the ends off for your bike or did you find open ended ones? The ones I got aren't open ended which would require me to cut them... Thanks

Use WD40 and they will be sliding around for weeks. You will also find that they start to go a bit tacky eventually, but as soon as any water gets in from washing or a bit of rain, they will start sliding around again. I use Hairspray. It's just enough lube to slide them on and it dries quick and nice and tacky.

Hair spray is best chemicly but it easily trumped by compressed air. Zip off, zip on, all done, ride away laughing at the hair spray which hasnt dried and the wd40 guy who crashed cuz the grips flew off.
(just kidding, I dont want anyone to crash)
Are those oury grips made for bicycles?

Air pressure is the best way, you can drive by any mechanic shop and just ask for the air pressure blower they use, takes only few seconds, but if you have no alternative and afraid to ask, then hairspray...

1 foot section of 7/8 OD tube (or pipe), put it in a lathe, drill press if you have it.. spin it up and swipe it with a angle grinder or flap disk.. Otherwise run it past a grinder wheel by hand works as well.
