Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by vau, Jan 10, 2016.

  1. Here is a new solution with lasersintered Parts from the German Forum.
    Montiert_3.JPG Montiert_4.JPG I think this could be interesting for you.
    The solution for the Sachs Fork is ready, a solution for the Öhlins Fork is in the Pipeline.

  3. Interesting. Is there an ETA already for the Ohlins version? I'd really like to buy a set :)

    Thanks for the tip

  4. At the risk of looking a numpty what is the problem that the piece of plastic solves

  5. It helps to keep crap (dirt, bugs, etc) off of your fork tube so that you don't end up with something boogering up and blowing your fork seals (which results in a fork oil leak)

  6. The version for the Sachs Fork ( skyhook ) is ready,
    the version for the Öhlins fork is under construction.
    A member from Switzerland have ordered them
    at a 3D Printing Company. When everything works well,
    i publish the Link to the Company and the parts here.

    excuse my terrible English,

  7. Lots of bikes used to fit gaiters to forks to keep the crap out of the bearings and seals. It would be pretty easy to fit something similar to modern USD forks, and a lot more effective than the half-baked protectors offered here.

  8. thats right. But there is not enough space for such a solution
    and i think its ugly.

  9. I've always found that the upper alloy part is the part that needs protecting. It gets covered in flys and worse marked by stones. I protect that bit with a piece of clear plastic
    The dust seal on my forks tends to do its job and keep the bottom clean

  11. can you please take more CLOSE UP pictures, really zoom in so that we cannot see the part.

    (only joking, can I see some pics a bit further back?)

    Thanks

  12. Your so old fashioned Pete, you'll be extolling the virtues of a fully enclosed chain next :grinning:

  13. Alright guys. Someone offering a solution to a problem you may or may not have. Ultimately if you tour or commute these will be a good investment.
