Hi all,
trying to find a place to buy the little soft plastic/rubber insert pieces that protect the fork from the clamp.
I dont know if anyone else has notived these but they sit in a little groove on the inside of the clamp.
Surely there must be a place to buy them short of filling the groove with silicone.
The answer I got at the hd parts desk was that i had to buy a new 50 dollar clamp.
Yeah bull**** i will is right.
I had lost one of mine so I took a small piece from an old bicycle inner tube and rubber cemented it to the inside of the clamp. It worked, but then one day about a month later, I was doing something to the bike and found the missing rubber pieces in the driveway where I park. I've got a gravel driveway and didn't see it when I first noticed it was missing. I got lucky that I didn't have to buy a new clamp, but the inner tube worked fine.
