Cheap shock socks

[cordy]

I found this mod on another forum,and thought I would share with you guy`s. I used a 24x 2.125 byckle inner tube. Cost $4.96. Enough to do 8 shocks. The secret to getting them on easyer and to limit your frushtration is to spray the inside of your innertube with silicone spray or wd-40. This allows the tube to slip on easyer as they are a snug fit. Enjoy and have fun!

Will the same size innertube work on the KM/5b shocks?

How tight is the fit top / bottom?
Some people use cable ties to stop dirt getting in.
Do they limit the free movement of the shocks?

I believe the same size tube will work for your km shocks the tube will stretch remember to spray the inside of the tube with silacone or wd-40. The fit on the top and bottom is loose,yes you could use zip ties ,however I left mie open so I can blow them out with compressed air. I have not noticed any imparment of the movement of the shocks.$5 for an innertube is a small investment to try it out,if it`s not up to ur likeing just take your hobby knife and cut them off.

That seams like a pretty large innertube, but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the info man!
