Lizard Skins Rear Suspension Black Review

I was worried about sand damaging the seals on my air shock so I bought this one. This is a real bitch to dress up but it fits and stays on really well afterwards. Slip the top end over the small bottom of the shock, then slide it up and secure the velcro further down as you go.

I got a bumper, fork and chain for my new Scott Spark. My previous set lasted about 15 years and when I took them off to sell the bike the surfaces they covered looked like new! I was very rough on my old bike and I don't hesitate to ride through dust or mud, rain, storm and all kinds of mud. The LizardSkin material never failed and…

Just a thin rectangular sheet of neoprene. I need to mount it on my Rockshox Monarch RC3 Plus Debonair to see how it works. I'll update the reviews and check back once I've installed it. But if you are looking for sizes, my photos show them. Update: 14th February 2020 ---------------- I bought 2 of these - one will be used for my Rockshox Monarch RC3 Plus large canister and the second is for my 100mm Pipette Fox transmission with external drive. I have to say my initial thoughts were that…
