|   Paging Lizard Skins (fork tubes) owners | Sofa
Jun 6, 2002 12:23 PM | | Can you please tell me how wide your lizard skins are for your fork legs? I'm slicing up an old wetsuit, and I don't know how tight the 'skins' should be pulled. Thanks |

I've had them on my fork for 2 years and they've not been harmful that i can tell. mind you the conditions here are not dry and dusty but more likely to fling chunks of mud onto the stanchions. if you've been in dust or through the river take them off and clean and dry them when you get home. the originals are just tight enough to maintain contact with stanchions and wrap tightly around the bottom tubes by the arch. i use them on my rear air and coil shocks as well and again no problems. |
