VTR ownership diary by The Lens

[thelens]

well Ive just bought my first accessory ever for the VTR
Only a shock sock, but an important part in my view.
I noticed the bike already has a sort of mudflap to protect the rear suspension so I figured a sock would protect it and keep it like new.
Much better than a wheel hugger would do
My wants list is growing all the time, so I thought I would use here, to keep a VTR ownership diary of sorts.
Not much of a pimp me ride lol but its a start !

Shock sock will trap moisture and rust your spring, if left could cause the shock shaft to corrode too.. Fine if you like them but need taking off regular to dry out and clean under, not easy to remove once fitted on some bikes.. I have to disagree with you in that a hugger works fairly well, and it's easy to reach in to the shock with a rag and give it a wipe. also some huggers protrude below the arm to protect the shock linkage too, these ones are best
