I've heard that a little hairspray on the handlebars will help the grips to slip back up when it is wet and will help to hold the grips in place after it dries.

The rear wheel presents no problem. However, the front wheel is a different story. It is a 20" 700 x 23 wheel with zero clearance between the tire and the top of the fork. I'm thinking of buying a fender set and cutting the front fender just in front of the attachment to the brake bolt on the fork. I can mount that part to the back of the fork. That would leave with fender protection in the rear of the wheel but the front is another story. I'm ...
