There are no square 'seals' on the lefty or any headshok fork. They roll on needle bearings and use the 'booty' to keep the dust and grime out as stated previously by syadasti.binary visions said:
How much for the smoked chrome?leprechaun said:I konw for a fact that Lizard Skins is allready making a neoprene boot for the rail.Also the Lefty booty fits too.We are making Lexan side covers that inclose the whole area too.They will be available in clear or smoked chrome.Yeti is also making a pressurized water bottle that constantly sprays winshield washer fluid onto the rails.Every time the shock compresses it pushes on a pump that energizes the waterbottle.So the more puddles you go through the more it squirts.Problem is Shimano is suing them over the water bottle idea because it infringes on the patent they have for the Airlines shifting system since it is a pressurized bottle mounted to a bicycle.tHIS IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Thus proving that the rails really are sensitive to grit. Makes you think about what would happen if the neoprene boot/water bottle/lexan covers system failsleprechaun said:I konw for a fact that Lizard Skins is allready making a neoprene boot for the rail.Also the Lefty booty fits too.We are making Lexan side covers that inclose the whole area too.They will be available in clear or smoked chrome.Yeti is also making a pressurized water bottle that constantly sprays winshield washer fluid onto the rails.Every time the shock compresses it pushes on a pump that energizes the waterbottle.So the more puddles you go through the more it squirts.Problem is Shimano is suing them over the water bottle idea because it infringes on the patent they have for the Airlines shifting system since it is a pressurized bottle mounted to a bicycle.tHIS IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!

The "works" version will have tiny midgets with polishing rags mounted on the rails to keep the system clean, with several spares mounted on the monocoque top tube for when one or two of them moves too slow and gets decapitated by the linkage...JAB said:Thus proving that the rails really are sensitive to grit.

Will the midgets be speed sensitive? Will they have speed holes to cut down on wind resistance? Wouldn't pixies be more effective?binary visions said:
Oh, oh there is a rumor on Pinkbike that there will be a collaboration between Yeti and Sony: Sony will be making a minityrized version of their household robot that attaches to the frame and cleans the rails using a mixture of air plane fuel and heavy water.binary visions said:
Like Aibo? COOOOOOOOOL!!JAB said:
The midgets will have a special Ti-Ni coating that will drastically decrease their wind resistance.Fury said:
Damn suits :angry:binary visions said:
Yea, yea but how much for black?James | Go-Ride said:
it is obvious that MikeD has most likely removed the cats spine to make it behave better.Lexx D said:
