|   Removing fork boots? | Alias
Jun 6, 2002 9:02 PM | | Can I take my fork boots off of my suntour xpc 75 that came with my giant warp ds3? I want to see how much travel I'm using (with a zip-tie) it seems to have good scrapers and it has pretty chrome legs hiding underneath. I know the suntour sucks but I hear that boots can actually but harmfull due to the fact of keeping the water in them. I ride mainly dry urban conditions with some hardpacked dirt trails if that helps at all. I see forks without boots but has anyone had any negitive experiences with it? |

As long as you keep the sliders clean and occasionaly put a bit of Judy Butter or other fork-suitable lube on them (which you should do with or without boots) it'll be fine. |
