Decrease slipping of your Go Cruise

[dras]

I have the small Go Cruise on stock grips, and it slips if it's over the Grip Puppies, next to the Grip Puppies, with the rubber band thingy or without. I have the Caterpillar o-ring that goes into the gap between the bar end and the grip and that slips a little too when used by itself. Soooooo.... I use them both together and it holds nicely! I don't use it all that much, but I do have trouble with my right hand going numb sometimes and it's nice to have a few seconds to shake it out. Just installed some handlebar risers, so I'm hoping that helps with the numbness issue.

My Go Cruise did not originally come with the rubber sleeve that goes between it and the grip. They added that after I got mine, so evidently there were some issues with slipping that they were trying to correct. When I emailed them asking about the rubber sleeve they promptly sent me one and told me if it still slipped I could send the whole thing back and they would refund my money. Seem like good people to deal with. I don't dislike it enough to send it back, but I'd have a hard time recommending it to anybody I liked .

I have the ultimate fix for this. I was taking mine off to adjust the rubber band and it broke in half. Slipping problem solved! (PS, this was the third time I had removed it.)

Mine would slip a bit with the rubber band thingy installed. I had another wider band that came with a Cramp Buster that I had previously bought. I slipped the second wider band over the one that came with the Go Cruise and it works like a champ. Rather than use it as a "cruise control", I use mine to get a minute or two relief from "numb hand".

As far as breaking, I refrain to taking mine off and will see how long it lasts. If you notice in the instruction, they're pretty clear about where, and where not, to grip it when removing it.

I tried a Go Cruise today and it would not hold the grip in place (even with the rubber band).

I took a medium size zip tie (wire tie), run it through the hole in top closest to the grip then looped it around the bottom part, pulled it down just tight enough to add some pressure and now it holds great. It's an easy fix and looks fine with a black tie, just be careful not to pull it down too tight and break it.

I still find my Caterpillar oring to work much better than the Go Cruise.

Mine works great now, maybe a little thing but when I first installed it I put it on upside down and it slipped. Once I looked at the picture they sent me and turned it over it worked great. I used it all the way to Alaska and back and it sure saved my wrist on some long 12 hour days. I too have it as far in as it will go on the grip. Not sure if it was just my luck or what but the one I got had a picture only, no instructions or other paper work.

My GoCruise is still working perfectly. Installed it last March. Best 20 bucks I've ever spent.

I've got 7500 miles on my Go Cruise and it still works perfectly, right out of the box (no rubber bands). It may be that people are in fact putting it on backwards? I also use it almost all the time, other than city riding, just to take pressure off my wrist.

If I recall (not at home looking at it), one of the two arms has holes in it and the other does not. Which way is yours installed, with the "holey" arm on top, or bottom?

It took double rubber bands for mine to work, but it works great.

I believe that some people have used a Dremel to cut several shallow grooves on the inside where it contacts the grip.
