Author Message   Testcase Posted on Monday, June 06, 2011 - 10:10 am:        Anyone who's put these on the Uly, have you noticed the soxs essentially melting away after awhile?   Pontlee77 Posted on Monday, June 06, 2011 - 05:08 pm:        you mean the ones you put on the front fork? Mine have been there 2 years no problem and after changing the oil and springs i've refitted them and still look good.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Monday, June 06, 2011 - 07:46 pm:        I'll wager he's talking about the rear shock. That poor shock gets ROASTED by the fan+rear head.   Testcase Posted on Wednesday, June 08, 2011 - 01:20 pm:        No, it's the front. It's like they're wearing away from rubbing the wheel or melting. I'll post some pics when I can. I recently had it out for a couple days of off-asphalt (hard-packed dirt) riding. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it though.   Itileman Posted on Wednesday, June 08, 2011 - 10:40 pm:        X or XT?   Testcase Posted on Thursday, June 09, 2011 - 11:19 am:        2006 X   Pontlee77 Posted on Thursday, June 09, 2011 - 01:22 pm:        Strange, mine are fine actually after changing the oil and springs on the forks i'm reusing them and they are over 2 years old, and look fine. maybe your's are to loose, are they neopren?   Testcase Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2011 - 01:25 am:        I think so. Maybe I didn't tighten it enough. Here are the pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/testcase_net/sets/721 57626933761350/   Pontlee77 Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2011 - 04:57 am:        Mine came with zip ties to keep them in place I'll check the make as i got them online from the UK, and see if i can link you to the page.   Pontlee77 Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2011 - 08:47 am:        This is from where I got mine the just need to fit tight to the fork,and the don't have any velcro so you need to take the fork off, a good time to do it is when you need a front tyre, after all is just a few bolts: http://www.proline-sports.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_f ork_protection.htm   Pontlee77 Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2011 - 08:50 am:        After a few looks to the pics i think the problem is the velcro, i thought of those too but wandered if the velcro would hold up, as it seems it doesen't, so the way i went seems to be the one that works best   Itileman Posted on Saturday, June 11, 2011 - 10:13 am:        Looks to me like you had them too tight. Mine are on tight enough to provide coverage/protection and keep the dirt out, but not over stretched.   Testcase Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011 - 12:15 am:        Ahhh.. didn't know you could overtighten them.
