The solvent in the WD-40 evaporates; the oil does not. WD-40 is mostly solvent, and also has light machine oil. Putting petroleum-based oil on rubber is not recommended. Chris P.S. Google "WD-40 MSDS" for the Material Safety Data Sheet for WD-40. You might have to Google the constituent elements to get them in plain English.

I suppose you also thing WD40 will make normal grips fit a 7/8" bar instead of simply making them easier to slide on and then evaporating? Even if it does swell, I'm pretty sure it won't make a bike tire look like an atv tire and no longer fit. Don't knock it 'til you try it! E
