Seal Savers
Posted: 01:45 pm Aug 01 2005
Used on KX forks. Savers are for 44-50mm forks, 'long' style.
$27 from RockyMtn.
These are a snug fit on the '99 46mm forks. They cover the entire lower tube. I still use fork guards, so don't know how well they would stand up to rocks.
I do like the idea of having the tube completely covered, though. The fork guard guides still fit (if you use them).
They clean up well, too. Hit'em with a hose and hours of riding dust comes right off.
I haven't taken them off to see what gets under them..but I doubt much if anything does.
The 'stiction' part of it? While I'm sure it is somewhat increased (couldn't NOT be), I couldn't tell the difference with the Savers on or off.
Good product!
