Daystar fork boots

Post by turtle »

Just got a set of these (can't beat them for $25) and am wondering ... are the zip ties good enough to hold them on or do I need to get replacement hose clamps? TIA

zip ties will work if you get the good ones. clamps are better tho.

I just use zip ties. I always just pulled them tight with pliers and never had an issue.
