Fork gaiters

[molineux1980]

Hi,

My old Muddy Fox's susp fork gaiters have split, and i'm concerned about dirt ingress. Do Lizard skin or anyone like that do replacements? Bought a house this week so new suspension is a no no.

yeah lizard skinz do do one, but to be honest i wouldnt bother replaceing them, the lizard wraps will get really dirty and absorb ming, that will get into your forks anyway.
The forks will be sealed so shouldnt let much if anything in, just give them a good wipe after every use, thats what i do and they seem fine.

Depends on the age of the forks. In days gone by, the gaiters helped keep the crud away from the inadequate seals. Seals and wipers are that much better these days that gaiters aren't needed (and forks look better without!)

Unfortunatly its an old bike, and is lumbered with RST pogo sticks. Can't afford to replace, have found some Lizard and i'll give them a try. Hopefully the bike will be replaced once I can get some money together!
