Fork Skinz, Clear is specifically designed to discreetly provide bomb-proof protection for your fork lowers against impact and wear, commonly picked up on the trails and in transit.
We spent forever (and a bit longer), sourcing the right materials but we are happy as pigs in shit with the end product and hope you will be too. Using materials normally used on Motocross, Karts, ATVs, Snowmobiles and Jet Skis with a strong, clear pressure-sensitive adhesive that is super clean to apply and remove, the end result is a 300 micron composite vinyl (that's metric by the way), that offers outstanding performance and crystal clear graphics while also being pliable enough to conform to the endless contours of each and every bike frame.
Did we say the vinyl is Cadmium-free? WTF is that, you may ask. Straight from Green Facts, normally found in PVC materials Cadmium is toxic to plants, animals and micro-organisms. Being a simple chemical element, Cadmium is persistent – it cannot be broken down into less toxic substances in the environment. Basically, it's not very nice so we got rid of it.
If that's not enough, with graphics printed using eco-friendly ink and sandwiched in-between the vinyl layers for added protection, the end product is bundled inside its dedicated recycled cardboard packaging, keeping it safe while it heads to you.
The patches are compatible with most suspension forks, from 26" to 29" Boost forks.
Nothing other than a good eye (although two are better), and a relatively careful pair of hands are needed when fitting, as the adhesive allows you to reposition the patches if you make a dog's dinner of it.
If you feel the urge to fettle, simply trim away with a trusty pair of scissors
