Fork protectors

[finnerz89]

I want some fork tube/sock/condom thingy's to protect my fork seals. Can anyone recommend some that are a good fit?

I've been looking at the acerbis neoprene type ones

I had the acerbis ones and got nothing but slate.

Apparently, whilst they're excellent at not letting water in, if water does get in, they won't let out. Therefore you risk rotting it from inside. I never had any issues and ran it daily for years. I liked the styling but not everyone did.

@calum I'm not 100% on the looks, but it's a damn sight better than gaiters.

I'm thinking lather the forks in acf50 then put them on. Considering the (dry) miles I do it shouldn't be an issue either.

@finnerz89 I have neoprene Gaitors and I love the look I forget the make of them

@finnerz89 what's wrong with the stock gaiters?

[finnerz89]

@sgt-robuck-5 I've got a DTX so it never had any in the first place

[finnerz89]

@glynn123 already a full SM setup so not worth the work

@finnerz89 why not invest in a cheap pair of gaiters or are you going for a better look?

[finnerz89]

@sgt-robuck-5 I think gaiters look shite lol

@finnerz89 thought so XD
