Who make's them? Are they any good? I've put a few scratches and chips in the stanchions of my 888's and don't want anymore! It makes me want an inverted fork again, as rocks just seem to attract to the uppers of my forks whenever I come unstuck.

I've seen the Core Rat ones but ain't to keen on em - it looks like I could make something similar with a bit of innertube and some zip ties...

I think I saw a pic of a blue Santa Cruz (v-10 or vp-free) where the owner had made a set out of pvc pipe split lengthwise. MTBR, maybe? Try a search there.

Check out Core Rat stuff.

I ran a pair of the core rat guards for about a year. They are hard plastic which are then zip tied to the lowers. The guards worked fine. However, I did have to do a fair amount of heating and bending to get the close fit I was looking for. Search through the Underwear gallery in the Socal forum and you'll find some pics of them.

We sold a bunch of those Core Rat guards and people seemed to like them.

The Corerat's are worth looking in to. I had a set on my boxxer and while they are not attractive they are made of tough pvc, and the bottom line is they work pretty well. They are black as well, so it at least matches the fork.

I didn't realise that the core rats were plastic, they look like thin rubber on the website - sounds a lot better now.

Does anyone know of a european source? After last weekends crash I'm getting protective over the steed...

Yeah, the pics on the website make it difficult to tell what they are made out of. The guards are about 3-4mms thick, so they will take a lot of abuse. They have saved my stanchions from a few crashes.
