Re: Help! Sticky Chronarch Handle Grips

are you sure the shaft wasnt pinched to hard against the grip & preventing it from spinning ? if not then...........

Have you noticed ??
when the price of gasoline goes down the price of diesel goes up.
check it out...... that way the average price at that station remains the same.
