Get a Gripster on storing your bike inside

gripster wall protector

However carefully you lean your bike against an inside wall, tell-tale rubber marks and small chips to the plaster or wall paper are hard to avoid. Gripster is a rubber plug that attaches to the end of either a straight or drop handlebar – it helps prevent the bicycle from slipping or leaving marks and other damage.

A built-in magnet allows the Gripster to be stored on a radiator or fridge door when not in use.

    Although I like to think of the wall marks as a progressive art installation, I suspect my walls / wife will no doubt thank you if I’m lucky…

    I LOVE this! What a simple idea. I have just painted my hallway, and am fed up with having to lean my bike against it with extreme care to not get those tell tale black marks on the wall. Please may I have one! Pretty please??! And do they work on children’s bikes as well??

    This would be great, my bike even has a slightly convex bar end so that it risks falling over if it’s knocked.
