Not seen TOGS copies before, much better price wise. If they opened up properly I'd have had them off you but I have ESI grips and don't fancy trying to get those off!
Re: Carbon handlebar thumb rest (Like a TOGS) £9
Ben took me 30 seconds each ESI grip to remove last night and about the same to refit.
To remove - remove end cap, place foot on side of stem - pull grip with both hands worth of finger tips on inner end of grip.
To re-fit - slide ESI grip back on using 3 cable ties between grip and bar. Pull cable ties out.

You make it sound so simple! I didn't fit my grips, they were fitted in 2014 by the shop when I bought the bike and work great as they are, I daren't risk taking them off because I'm sure I'll just make it worse!
Re: Carbon handlebar thumb rest (Like a TOGS) £9
Yeah, until I got the technique sorted they were an absolute bastard to remove and refit 
Re: Carbon handlebar thumb rest (Like a TOGS) £9
Yes please, will take those to try out ..
ESIs - don't you use meths? Just work it under after using something non-metal to get under the grip.
edit - oops sorry Ben - try the meths trick and have 1st dibbs here if it looks like it'll work

Re: Carbon handlebar thumb rest (Like a TOGS) £9
Take them James. I have a third child now and haven't used my MTB since the WRT!
Better they see some real use! I ride my cargo bike now instead of my MTB!
