New V.2 Upper fork leg protectors in Neoprene. We have made these new HELL TEAM ones out of even thicker 3mm Neoprene to protect upper fork legs even better.

Tapered shape to easily fit between upper fork tubes and lower fork legs. Designed specifically for Trial forks.

Seams glued and Taped for smooth finish, finished with low friction material on inside of tube to minimise any friction.

Made Long, so they protect the fork leg as well as the seals - can be cut down if required. There is enough length to pull over the seals on TECH or Marzocchi forks, and still cover up to the lower triple clamp.

Modern aluminium upper fork legs are both fragile when launched against rocks, and expensive to repair or replace. These are cheap insurance.

 Available in  Black or Black!

Sold as a pair.

Fork Protector sleeve fitment.

 

We make these fork protector sleeves specifically for modern trials bike forks (TECH 39mm). We have designed them for maximum protection of the upper fork leg, without reducing performance.

They do take slightly longer to fit than cheap “wrap around and velcro” versions, but offer vastly superior protection than the cheap ones. We went for BEST PROTECTION rather than  QUICK!

The tubes are slighly tapered, so when fitting put the wider end facing down towards the lower stanchion and fork seal. Narrow end towards triple clamp.

  1. Put the bike on a suitable pit stand or lift to get the front wheel off the ground.
  2. You will need to remove the fork brace and the forks from the triple clamps to fit these. You can drop the complete forks and wheel together, or you can remove the front wheel and do each leg individually.
  3. Pull the neoprene protective sleeve over the leg, wider side facing down, and pull the bottom of the sleeve over the two fork brace mounting nubs so there is approx 15mm under the nub. Try and pull the sleeves on with the taped seam towards the inside (just for “looks”).
  4. Now with a sharp knife blade cut a small nick in the neoprene right on the top of the mount nub and push it through the neoprene. This effectively hold the protector in place without the use of cable ties or other fixatives. Re-fit the fork brace after doing all four mounting nubs.
  5. Refit forks, making sure all triple clamp bolts are re-torqued to manufacturers specs (appprox 7-10nm - brand specific)
