    Changing grips secret?

    I have SRAM grip shifters and I HATE the rubbery grips themselves, they are too thin and not cushy at all. I want to change the grips, but how do I get the old grips off? They aren't attached to the shifters but they are really stuck on the handlebars. Since I have never removed grips before, what's the secret? Am I going to have to cut the darn things off?

    Oh, and can something like the Ergon GC2 grips (http://www.performancebike.com/shop/....cfm?SKU=22585) be used with a grip shift? Just wondering if there's enough room on the handlebar.

    Thanks!
